“God Save The Queen” is sung over footage of the former Princess Elizabeth of York and her retinue proceeding along a Westminster Abbey aisle at her 1953 Coronation as Queen Elizabeth II. This for cinema patrons to stand respectfully to at the beginning of the programme. The footage is bookended by a shot of the crown on a cushion.
