Queen Elizabeth II Begins Caribbean Tour in Belize (1985)

On this day in 1985, Queen Elizabeth II visited the Commonwealth country of Belize. The Queen was seen smiling as she was welcomed with a Calypso rendition of God Save the Queen. Meanwhile, near the border with Guatemala, ITN’s crews captured some dramatic footage of the military exercises being staged by British army stationed in Belize as a means of deterring Guatemala from attempting to settle its border dispute by force. #QueenElizabethII #TheQueen #ElizabethII #RoyalFamily #Royal #Royals #Belize #Guatemala #CentralAmerica To license the footage featured in this clip, follow the link below: To search the ITN Archive collection on Getty Images, follow the link below: 🎥 Subscribe to our YouTube channel (tap the bell icon and stay up to date with all the latest ITN Archive videos!) - @ITNArchive 🎥 Follow us on Twitter - 🎥 Like us on Facebook - 🎥 Check out our TikTok - @itnarchive1955
