Royal Visit to Lancashire
First broadcast: 1 April 1949
The royal train pulls into Lime Street station and crowds of jubilant Liverpudlians throng the streets as Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh make their way to the docks for the opening of a new lock. A reception at the town hall follows and then a visit to Liverpool's new cathedral.
Manchester played host the following day with a civic tour and a factory visit, which topped off the busy programme of events.
