The shots list currently gives the location as unknown/unclear, however the location is almost certainly within the grounds of Buckingham Palace.
The date of filming for this footage was 22nd June 1945.
"British naval officer standing in front of a building" - this is Lieutenant Commander Stephen Beattie VC of the Royal Navy.
"a man in wheelchair" - this is Major Frederick Tilston VC, of the Essex Scottish, an Infantry Regiment of the Canadian Army.
The man at 2:28 is Lance Corporal Harry Nicholls VC, of the Grenadier Guards.
The man on the left at 2:34 is Lieutenant Donald Cameron VC, of the Royal Naval Reserve.
At 2:57 we see Lieutenant Basil Charles Godfrey Place VC, of the Royal Navy.

Given that the location here is Buckingham Palace, the clip's title should be changed to, perhaps, Investiture at Buckingham Palace.
