Despite the cordiality of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, the popular reception is cool. Train pulls into station (train has Union Jack and another flag -- German? -- painted on front). Queen and Prince waiting on platform. Older man in top hat climbs off train, removes his hat, shakes hands with Elizabeth, then Philip, both of whom smile warmly. Other nicely dressed ladies look on. Elizabeth and the man walking. Caucasian crowd looking offscreen. Prince Philip climbs into the royal carriage. Carriage with the royal couple and their visitor pulls away; Prince Philip salutes. | |
