Princess Royal at Marylebone
Princess Louise gets a rowdy reception as she lays the foundation stone for the new Marylebone Town Hall

The newsreels were invariably unshakeable royalists. So you can feel the consternation as Topical Budget reports the news that Princess Louise (eldest daughter of Edward VII) was given a less than warm reception by some striking builders as she laid the foundation stone for the new Marylebone Town Hall.
