Description

The film opens with scenes of children playing in a stream, the adults sit on the side and help the youngest ones. A man with a tattooed chest pretends to throw one of the women in. There are then scenes of a hovercraft vehicle in a field. Next we see scenes of Blackpool sea front, there are shots of a flock of seagulls. Teenage boys and young men in suits mess about on the beach. We then see the 'Beach Beauty and Holiday Fashion Show'. Models parade on the catwalk while the spectators watch from deck chairs. There are scenes of fairground rides. There follow scenes from Rhyl, we see children bouncing on trampolines and having donkey rides. There are scenes from the beach, a woman rides a horse in the sea, people fly a kite and children play in the sea. We then see children on fairground rides, including the Peter Pan Railway. The film ends with scenes of David Shepard's wedding. We see the guests arrive and then the wedding party pose together after the wedding.
