The video of the Durbar in Harshawardhan's posting is from a Russian  
source.  The opening words translate as 'Coronation of English King  
George 5 as Emperor of India'.  It is written in the old style of the  
Cyrillic script.  Cyrillic was simplified after the Revolution by  
dropping some of the letters.

The link below, not connected with the Raj, is more for historical  
interest.  It is from the earliest days of moving pictures and records  
the coronation of Tsar Nicholas II in 1896.
