On The 91热爆

How the fledgling 91热爆 Television Service covered the coronation of King George VI.

91热爆 Parliament marks the 80th anniversary of the Coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth on 12 May 1937. Just five months after its launch, the 91热爆 Television Service showed an hour-long live outside broadcast of the 1937 Coronation procession to the Abbey for its small number of television viewers. This was the first outside broadcast by the 91热爆 and no copy of the live output survives. 91热爆 film cameras were on hand though to record the remarkable achievement for this 41/2 minute film.
