The COI Collection Volume 7: The Queen on Tour

Overview

Volume Seven of the COI Collection, The Queen on Tour, celebrates the diamond jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. As Whitehall's publicity agency, the COI - with unprecedented access to the royals - was the natural choice to produce offical records of royal tours and state visits. In addition, it commissioned and supervised a variety of retrospectives on the Queen and her family. Highlights of the collection include: Royal Destiny (1953), a look at the Queen's early life, made in the year of her coronation;The Queen's State Visit to Iran (1961), a fascinating film of the royal visit to Iran eight years after a British and American-backed coup installed the Shah; Sierra Leone Greets the Queen (1962), a colourful record of the Queen's visit in the year of independence; Britain Welcomes the Emperor and Empress of Japan (1971), marking the controversial state visit from Emperor Hirohito and his wife
