Some great silent footage of the Apollo 8 crew on the USS Yorktown from SpaceInHD.com.
Great shots USS Yorktown carrier, helicopter lands on carrier. Shots Apollo 8 in white flight suits. They walk to camera followed by press.

Apollo 8 astronauts look at recovered capsule. The three astronauts sit with ships captain smiling. Animated shots of our heroes. Massive cake rolled out, astronauts on to stage with captain.

Were there no other astronauts onboard the USS Yorktown to greet the returning Apollo 8 crew after such an historic mission?

Great find ! I can imagine what Lovell is saying to Anders when he's patting him on the back. "I'm gonna wind you up for the next 40 years saying I took that shot!"
