Parade through the streets of London, jubilant crowds, closeups of a young George V, a montage of miners in Scotland and Wales stopping work to honour the King (after a strike). Iceberg and lifeboat with survivors to illustrate the sinking of the Titanic. The war to end all wars, and soldiers in action. War graves. The end of the war and idle machines as war plants closing. Ceremony on 11 November 1918 in London. Inflation takes over and coupons replace gold. Food is rationed. Fast time is introduced. Changes in style. Prices double.~King George plays on horseback and wins, loses with a soccer team, and shots of cattle at a farm show.~A young Prince of Wales in naval uniform. A young Duke of York and his new bride (later to become King George VI and Queen Elizabeth). Queen Mother Alexandra dies in 1925. Charles Linbergh in 1927 after flying the Atlantic. The baby Princess Elizabeth. Buses in London traffic. Schneider air race as aeroplanes fly at fantastic speed. The victrola is replaced by the radio. Telephones are modernized and the BBC is born in Broadcast House, London. Modern theatres are built and, in 1928, a wire photo service is implemented. Pictures by wire, the first picture being transmitted being that of George V.~In 1928 King George is ill, but a grieving and devoted Queen restores him. He leaves in a cab in a London fog to recuperate as cheering masses gather outside the palace. The King and Queen ride through London and attend services at St. Paul's Cathedral.~Princess Elizabth at the age of 5 in 1932. The R-101 flies and crashes.
