The Gold State Coach passes on coronation day

The Gold State Coach, its body carried by carved gilt tritons blowing conch shells and crowned by figures holding up a crown, rolls slowly past the camera; figures can be glimpsed inside, a Yeoman of the Guard in Tudor dress marches alongside, and the dark bearskin of a guardsman fills the foreground. On 12 May 1937 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth drove in this coach from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey to be crowned, and back again.
