The COI Collection Volume 7: The Queen On Tour is available now on 2-disc BFI DVD - amzn.to/JBwucS
This collection marks the Diamond Jubilee celebrations with a wealth of rare royal films made between 1954 and 1971. As the government's publicity agency, the COI was the natural choice to produce the 'official' record of royal tours and state visits during the post-war period. This extract from 'Sierra Leone Greets the Queen' details the royal party's arrival in the capital city Freetown.
All titles on the BFI Films channel are preserved in the vast collections of the BFI National Archive. To find out more about the Archive visit www.bfi.org.uk/archive-collections
