From the BBC Archives the King and Queen visit the Royal Agricultural Show in York
THE BBC has opened its video archives for readers of the Press.
Spanning the decades from TV’s post-war switch-on, the films are a fascinating snapshot of Yorkshire life, sure to trigger readers’ memories and provide a window into our shared past.
The first clip is from 1948 and shows The Royal Agriculture Show from York, attended by their majesties the King and Queen, and Princess Margaret.
The report was first broadcast on 12 July 1948.
