King Haakon VII of Norway Visits England

King Haakon arrives in Great Britain to a 21-gun salute, but King George VI is too ill to greet him. The Duke of Gloucester stands in for the king, and Queen Elizabeth and the princesses welcome Haakon. The Coldstream guards lead a procession to Buckingham Palace, while George VI remains bedridden, possibly due to influenza. The Grenadiers band performs parade maneuvers in honor of George VI's 56th birthday.
