1953
In the palace of Whitehall Queen Elizabeth (Joan Cross) stands centre stage reading from a platform the letters patent appointing Essex her Deputy in Ireland. Cecil (Arnold Matters) attends behind her; Essex (Peter Pears) stands at the front of the stage with his back to the camera. Courtiers, attendants and palatial splendour fill the surroundings.
