Shots of the streets of Masterton and of various decorations and floral arrangements created for the visit. The royal entourage drives down the main street as the crowds cheer.
This silent colour film was made using an 8-mm camera by amateur cameraman Mr Edwin Nitschke. We are most grateful to Mr Nitschke’s family for making this film available to us.
