Description

Scenes from the Grimsargh Field Day. We see the procession which includes the Rose Queen, floats, people in fancy dress, a dance troupe and a marching band. Some of the people in fancy dress hold banners with messages about nurses' pay and inflation. At the carnival the vicar presents a man to the spectators, and the man is then presented with a flower for his button hole. We see maypole dancing and scenes from the garden fete that follows the procession.
