Comedian Danny Kaye arrives in London - 1948. (Seems to be cuts relating to newsreel stories 48/89 and 48/90 - see separate records for details.) L/Ss of plane landing at Heathrow Airport - looks quite foggy. Shots of people coming down steps; crowds wait at the bottom. Brief shot of crowds with banner - ’The London Palladium Welcomes the President of the INT Club’. Danny Kaye and his wife, Sylvia Fine, pause on steps to wave to crowd. There is a small band playing beside the steps. More shots of plane taxiing in. Danny and Sylvia walk off, accompanied by the band and the people with the banner. Cameramen and photographers walk in front of them. Black spacing from 01:44:08 to 01:44:15. Dark shot of audience at London Palladium during Royal Command Performance. Dark and fuzzy shot of Queen Elizabeth (Queen Mother), King George VI and Princess Margaret (?) in Royal box. The Princess is standing to take bow.
