This is the earliest original film held in the Yorkshire Film Archive's collection, and shows rare footage of Queen Victoria on an official visit to Sheffield. The clip shows the parade of household cavalry and a glimpse of the Queen in her carriage. Other early films in the Archive include prints of film made by the pioneer Louis le Prince who recorded on film, activities on Leeds Bridge in 1888. His images are said to be the earliest ever production of moving images and represent a landmark in film history. Courtesy of The British Film Institute, London, United Kingdom.
