Jubilee


In 1977, the 25th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation was celebrated with a series of Silver Jubilee events culminating with official ‘Jubilee Days’ around the Queen's Official Birthday in June. The actual coronation anniversary date of 6th February itself was celebrated in churches, but this film appears to have been made later in the year and includes shots of a Royals driving past the camera – the Queen visited Ipswich on 11th July 1977.
