This film celebrates the spectacle of everything brought together on one site for the four days of the Royal Show held at Cambridge in 1951 - the livestock competitions and parades of sheep, pigs and cattle, working dogs and horses, and the displays of agricultural machinery, crafts and expertise. In the year inspired by the Festival of Britain, the Queen visits on the first day of the show and presents prize cups and long service medals to farmworkers (70 years on one farm!).
