Queen Elizabeth II Attends Flag Rite on 38th Birthday (Universal Newsreel, Jun 1964)

Description

The original release sheet reads: QUEEN ELIZABETH II ATTENDS FLAG RITE ON 38TH BIRTHDAY In London a spirit of festival prevails as the British honor the official 38th Birthday of Queen Elizabeth II. The highlight of the tribute is the annual Trooping the Color in the Horse Guard Parade. A rite Her Majesty attends in the uniform of a Colonel-in-Chief. There is a colorful parade of full dressed troops and most bands. The big treat for the crowd came when Queen Elizabeth, after the ceremonies; appears on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with three month old Prince Edward in her arms. HARBOR SPANNED VERRAZANO BRIDGE NEARS FINAL SHAPE As it nears completion, the Verrazano bridge spanning the Narrows at the mouth of the Port of New York again becomes the subject for your newsreel's daredevil cameraman ... And he produces an spine-tingling report by matching the courage of the workers on bare and wind- whipped girders, hundreds of feet above the water. A thriller garnished by some masterful shots of the massive Queen Elizabeth passing under the bridge, outward bound for England. SPORTS PINT-SIZE BRONCO BUSTERS At Cheyenne Wells, Colorado, a troop of under teen-age young ones display cowboy ability with wild ponies and cantankerous bulls. Actionful rides and spills in a wild melee of boys, broncs and bulls.
