Ah SFA, what a treasure! Couldn't watch it in 1953, but here we are almost 70 years later...never too late...all to the tune of that old American patriotic song, My Country 'Tis of Thee!
I loved the peeresses in their sparkling tiaras sitting together, facing their husbands the peers across the transept; and the Earl of Gloucester standing to greet his uncle the Duke of Mountbatten (or vice versa?). Anyway, Tink knows the original form of Mountbatten (maybe Battenburg?), it is another German name that got anglicized!
I am so very glad this got preserved, I smiled through the whole ten minutes I watched...and that Chapel of St. Edward? I am guessing that must be Edward the Confessor, one of the very early English kings so devout and saintly -- I read his biography long ago, don't recall much now but impressive at the time...
Oh and here is where that coronation link led, Margaret and Elizabeth when they were children. This has only been up on YouTube since late January, and already some 2.5 million hits, people VERY interested in the royals always...
