Show detail Hide detail

The arrival on June 18, 1959 of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain and her husband Prince Philip for their 45-day 1959 royal visit to Canada is covered in this program, which is CBC's first live, direct report as well as the inauguration of its cross-Canada (microwave) telecast. Host Bill Herbert introduces colleagues Keith Barry, Bruce Marsh and Ken Homer, whose commentaries accompany footage of the arrival at the Royal Canadian Air Force station at Torbay, Newfoundland, and the official welcome to St. John's, Newfoundland, by the mayor. Notable shots of: Premier Joey Smallwood, Governor General Vincent Massey and Prime Minister John Diefenbaker with Mrs. Diefenbaker greeting the royal visitors. St. John's historical background is indicated through: footage of a pageant portraying the landing of Sir Humphrey Gilbert; drawings of Vikings landing in dragon ships; drawings of the last surviving Béothuk Indian; photos of the "Vimy" (aircraft) beginning the first successful non-stop flight across the Atlantic Ocean; and photos of Guglielmo Marconi, whose wireless communication began from Signal Hill, Newfoundland.
