Tue, Jul 02, 2013 12:15 CET

Part of “The British Film” Collection

What better time than now to relive the Queen’s 1953 to her Silver Jubilee coronation in 1977 in Peter Morley’s acclaimed 25 Years presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements. This compelling documentary is available to own on 15 July 2013, RRP £9.99.

Combining archive and contemporary footage – including that of the royal visit to Canada and the US in 1976, the bicentenary year of American independence – the film explores the monarchy through a quarter-century which saw the conquest of Everest, the development of television as a mass medium, the first supersonic flight, and space exploration.

Through times good and bad, and tumultuous changes for better or for worse, one factor remained constant: the monarchy, in the person of Queen Elizabeth II, provided a continuity and stability which this film seeks to celebrate.
