His Majesty was seen in close-up walking out on to the field with Engineer-Commodore S. F.. Cooper, secretary of the Rugby Union, who presented the team. The most informal pictures of the King yet televised were produced by the use of the telephoto lens and one of the new super-sensitive cameras used by the 8.8.
