Signor Saragat arrives for an eight-day visit to Great Britain
History will be made when Her Majesty The Queen and H.R.H. The Duke of Edinburgh welcome The President at the Home Park, Windsor, and drive in state with him and his daughter through the town to Windsor Castle. On entering the State Apartments, the distinguished visitors will be greeted by other members of the Royal Family, after which they will return to the Quadrangle to review the band of the Household Cavalry, the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery, and the Sovereign's Escort, Household Cavalry.
BBC-tv outside broadcast cameras will cover the scene at Home Park and the latter part of the route, as well as the ceremonies within the State Apartments and inside the Quadrangle of the Castle.
While the procession is making its way through the town, viewers will see a reminder of the days when State Visits to Windsor were the rule rather than the exception. Water-colours, specially commissioned for Queen Victoria's personal souvenir albums, will be shown on television for the first time, along with contemporary drawings from the Illustrated London News. Disarmingly frank observations on manners and monarchs, selected from Queen Victoria's letters and private journals, will be read by the distinguished actress Anna Massey.
