Summary: A very short colour film trailer featuring patriotic representations of the British monarch, the United Kingdom and the Dominions.
Description: START 22:00:00 Animated film in colour laid over music playing the chorus line of 'God Save the King' showing a large Union Jack flying in the breeze, a shoreline, sea and sky in the backgound. The Union Jack fills the screen; a mix-through to the flag with a cameo portrait of a youthful King George VI in the uniform of a Marshal of the Royal Air Force. The emblems of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales surround the cameo inset; they are then replaced with the emblems of the four 'White' Dominions, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. These emblems are replaced with the words 'God Save the King' in white Gothic lettering.
