      Yes. Johnson the traitor.
      Prince Charles represented the Queen as she refused to be in the presence of Johnson as she had been briefed by Mi6 about the murderous betrayal that Johnson was responsible for.

    Great video! Why would the interior footage be in black and white? Was is a matter of better exposure in low light for film?

    • @TheducksOrg
      @TheducksOrg Před 6 lety +7

      Yup. This is one of those topics which is difficult to find information on now, but at the time, colour films were about ASA(ISO)160 max, which would have been unsuitable for the interior, while there were ASA1600 b&w film stocks available, which would have been fine. For Hollywood films, most were only in colour after 1970

      As theducks stated there would have been limitations on the film stock as well as sensitivity around the location and nature of the service being filmed. Flooding the room with lights would not have been appropriate.

      @@jesusislukeskywalker4294 . He drowned in the ocean. The current actually took his body into the bay. They searched the beach where he went in . Just before dark a 10year old boy and his slightly older sister were in a boat cruising when a body surfaced . The boat hit the body . The two in the boat became frightened thinking they may have killed someone . They went to shore and never spoke about it . The event has haunted them since. I know the identity of the man and his whereabouts.
      Harold Holt drowned .
      No conspiricy.
      Am sure they would probably wish to clear it up.
