Centenary Celebrations at St. Peter's College, Radley in 1947: the visit of HRH Princess Elizabeth. Part 7: speeches by the Princess, Senior Prefect and Chairman of Council

The centenary of Radley College in 1947 was celebrated in a series of events culminating in the visit of Princess Elizabeth. She attended a Chapel service and had tea with the Prefects. She was given a box of chocolates, acquired from the prefects' sweet rations. The bill for it survives in the school archives. Part 7: Princess Elizabeth's speech. The Senior Prefect welcomes the Princess to Radley in Latin, she replies in English.

These 33rpm LP recordings may have been intended as the soundtrack for a film. If so, the visuals have not been traced.
