Nottingham Children Welcome the King and Queen

Pageantry, splendour and cheering kids greet King George V and Queen Mary in Nottingham, days before another royal visit changed the world.

Non-Fiction 1914 1 mins Silent

Overview

King George V's visit to Nottingham on 25th June 1914 was the lead story for this edition of Gaumont Graphic's bi-weekly newsreel, released four days later. In world news, though, that week was destined to be remembered for another royal visit: Archduke Franz Ferdinand's fateful sojourn in Sarajevo on 28th June. The shock of Ferdinand's assassination would soon plunge Europe into war.
