    The medievalist and ghost story writer Montague Rhodes (M. R.) James can be seen in this newsreel, which was filmed during his tenure as provost of Eton. He is visible at around the 0:30 mark, walking with a cane directly behind the King and Queen. This is one of only a small handful of appearances of James on film.
