Summary:
"This collector's edition DVD features the National Film Board of Canada documentary The Portrait, which follows Toronto artist Phil Richards as he creates Canada's official portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for her Diamond Jubilee. Directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Hubert Davis, The Portrait is joined in this special edition by two classic NFB films about Canada's royal family: Royal Journey (1951) and Canada at the Coronation (1953)."--Container.
Canada at the Coronation: The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II and Canada's participation in this event. Shows glimpses of London with thousands of visitors - the arrival of Canada's official delegations - the procession to Westminster Abbey, and highlights of the coronation in ceremony and after.
Royal journey: A documentary account of the five-week visit of Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh to Canada and the United States in the fall of 1951. Stops on the royal tour include Québec City, the National War Memorial in Ottawa, the Trenton Air Force Base in Toronto, a performance of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet in Regina and visits to Calgary and Edmonton. The royal train crosses the Rockies and makes stops in several small towns. The royal couple boards the HMCS Crusader in Vancouver and watches Native dances in Thunderbird Park, Victoria. They are then welcomed to the United States by President Truman. The remainder of the journey includes visits to Montreal, the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, a steel mill in Sydney, Nova Scotia and Portugal Cove, Newfoundland.
