Britain and Turkey had not always enjoyed the special friendship referred to in the commentary Their armies were on opposing sides in the First World War and there had been disagreementt over the future of Cyprus in the run up to the settlement of 1960 In the 1960s relations improved and this reciprocal tour the President of Turkey Cevdet Sunay had paid a state visit to the United Kingdom in November 1967 was regarded as a milestone in the bilateral alliance between the two countries The camera affords the viewer a prime vantage point by which to marvel at the splendour of the pageantry and contemplate every nuance of gesture and sartorial detail As we linger on the bejewelled Queen waiting patiently at the British Embassy in Ankara to greet her guests we wonder what it might be like to be in her shoes
