Short Film, 1953 (Documentary, Historical)
The Cathedral Bells ring out in Christchurch as New Zealand celebrates the coronation of Elizabeth II. Inside the cathedral and in other places of worship, such as the chapel at Longbeach Estate (near Ashburton) and in the picturesque St James church at the foot of Franz Josef Glacier, the faithful give thanks (including pioneering mountain guides Peter and Alex Graham). Outside, the day is marked by processions and military parades in the main centres (filmed on 02 June 1953); in Wellington Governor General Sir Willoughby Norrie commands "God Save the Queen!"
