Pictorial Parade No. 8 - New Zealand Celebrates Coronation
Short Film (Full Length) – 1953

The bells ring out; the highest hopes are fulfilled, from all New Zealand rise thanks for the coronation of the Queen.– Narrator
In the capital city, as elsewhere, the RSA plays its role in this demonstration of loyalty by Britain's most distant, yet closest, Dominion.– Narrator
