The second royal wedding of the 1920s was that between the King and Queen's second son, the Duke of York (the future King George VI) and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, his future Queen. Topical's coverage, for which nineteen cameramen were used, is an accomplished mixture of sentimentality, spectacle and astute camera placement and editing. The inevitable final balcony scene features an ingenious, apparently royal point-of-view shot. Luke McKernan
