An enormous thank-you for making this available. If you fancy it, click here to listen to the radio coverage of the King and Queen’s arrival at St Paul’s: sounds.bl.uk/Arts-literature-and-performance/Early-spoken-word-recordings/024M-1CL0019525XX-0200V0. In ‘South Riding’ Winifred Holtby wrote about the crowds in a fictional Yorkshire town listening to the broadcast ‘all the way from London. Suddenly from the loudspeakers crashed the National Anthem, and the townspeople took it up. They were singing with the whole kingdom.’ She's referring to the precise moment in the video at 2.16. Heady stuff.
I dont understand why it is seemingly so hard to play back old films at the correct speed... it's 2021, it's literally as simple as typing in the appropriate playback framerate
