Product description

Throughout the twentieth century, Royal Weddings were events of majestic splendour. People would camp out overnight in the streets of London to get a prime location for the procession the next day. They would gather in their thousands to garner a glimpse of the newly married couple on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. Street parties were held up and down the country in celebration - the extravagance, the splendour, the sheer pomp and pageantry all combined to make for extraordinary scenes of patriotic pride and national unity. In this collection we relive all the major Royal Weddings of the Twentieth Century, seeing them just as the cinema audiences of the time would have experienced them. Join us in a comprehensive and nostalgic look back at some of the most memorable and extraordinary days, in not just royal history, but in the history of Britain. 1922 PRINCESS MARY 1922 LORD MOUNTBATTEN 1923 PRINCE ALBERT wed ELIZABETH BOWES-LYON 1934 DUKE OF KENT weds PRINCESS MARINA OF GREECE 1935 PRINCE HENRY, DUKE OF GLOUCESTER 1947 PRINCESS ELIZABETH weds PRINCE PHILIP 1960 PRINCESS MARGARET weds ANTONY ARMSTRONG-JONES 1961 PRINCE EDWARD DUKE OF KENT weds KATHERINE WORSLEY 1963 PRINCESS ALEXANDRA weds MR ANGUS OGILVY 1972 PRINCE RICHARD (DUKE OF GLOUCESTER) weds BIRGITTE VAN DEURS of DENMARK 1973 PRINCESS ANNE weds MARK PHILLIPS 1981 PRINCE CHARLES weds LADY DIANA SPENCER 1986 PRINCE ANDREW weds SARAH FERGUSON DVD BONUS FEATURES 1949 EARL OF HAREWOOD 1960 LADY PAMELA MOUNTBATTEN and additional silent camera rushes of the major weddings.

A Nostalgic Look at the Past

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 June 2011

This is a great DVD for reliving memories of the past and a delight to just 'dip into' from time to time as all the weddings covered can be viewed on their own by using the excellent menu at the start.

Princess Patricia of Connaught (a grand-daughter of Queen Victoria who renounced her royal titles on marrying the man of her choice), was the first member of the royal family to be married at Westminster Abbey since the middle ages and so it is appropriate that newsreel of her wedding should be included. Naturally, the early weddings were filmed in Black and White and very little was allowed to be filmed before the war (the processions and balcony appearances), Princess Elizabeth's wedding in 1947 was the first to show anything from inside the Abbey (only the procession from the west end to the door) but from Princess Margaret's wedding in 1960, some of the actual ceremony was also filmed. This was the first wedding to be filmed in colour for the newsreels too.

To watch the whole DVD takes about 3 hours but is well worth doing. This is a fantastic record of both the royal and social history of this country. It would appeal to the fashion historian as well as the royalist.

I would highly recommend this DVD all and would go so far as to say that it is a must for lovers of the royal family.

absolutely brilliant to see these weddings again although not in full i hasten to add but even still its part of our history
the only downside is the cameras are a bit distant so although princess anne was a bridesmaid 4times you dont get any close ups anyway i have paused it for another day well worth the money especially jubilee year.
