JUBILEE SPITHEAD REVIEW - COLOUR

(3 Jul 1977) From the deck of the Royal Yacht 'Britannia', Her Majesty the Queen and members of her family review the ships of the British Navy which had assembled off Spithead. ® From the Movietone Film Archives we look back at other Fleet Reviews - The Silver Jubilee Review of George V, the 11 year old Princess Elizabeth at the 1937 Coronation Review and the Coronation Review of 1953, when from the deck of HMS 'Surprise', the newly-crowned Queen Elizabeth II reviewed Her Fleet. ® As the Royal Yacht sailed along the lines of ships, the Company of each gave Her Majesty 'three cheers'. At the end of the Review came the fly-past of the Helicopters of the Fleet Air Arm. ® In the evening, the Queen dined aboard HMS 'Ark Royal', the Flag Ship of the Review.
