Coi collection volume 7 the queen on tour 2 disc dvd set volume seven of the coi collection, the queen on tour, celebrates the diamond jubilee of queen elizabeth ii. As whitehall's publicity agency, the coi with unprecedented access to the royals was the natural choice to produce offical records of royal tours and state visits. In addition, it commissioned and supervised a variety of retrospectives on the queen and her family. Queen elizabeth ii came to the throne during a time of unparalleled change, both at home and abroad. Yet, despite the turbulent backdrop against which many royal tours and state visits were filmed, the onscreen images here maintain a diplomatic serenity it was, and still is, the queen's and the coi's job to cultivate strong relationships in a post colonial world.highlights of the collection include royal destiny 1953, a look at the queen's early life, made in the year of her coronationthe queen's state visit to iran 1961, a fascinating film of the royal visit to iran eight years after a british and american backed coup installed the shah sierra leone greets the queen 1962, a colourful record of the queen's visit in the year of independence britain welcomes the emperor and empress of japan 1971, marking the controversial state visit from emperor hirohito and his wifespecial features fully illustrated booklet featuring comprehensive contextualising notes and essays from academics and film historians dolby digital mono audio 320kbps disc 1 royal destiny 1953 southward with prince philip 1957princess margaret in mauritius and east africa 1957 life of a queen 1960the queen's state visit to iran 1961royal children 1961queen elizabeth ii in pakistan 1961disc 2 sierra leone greets the queen 1961britain welcomes the president of india 1963 the royal tour of the caribbean 1966britain welcomes the president of pakistan 1966a state visit to turkey by queen elizabeth ii 1971britain welcomes the emperoe and empress of japan 1971 uk 1953 1971 black and white and colour english language, with optional hard of hearing subtitles dvd 9 x 2 original aspect ratio 1.331 running time 234 minutes region all regions release date 28 05 2012
