Description

Scenes shot on Remembrance Sunday in Stockport 1929: an old man is seen giving a donation to women collecting for remembrance charities, and a procession is seen walking along Wellington Road South in the rain. Buses and trams pass by a uniformed brass band, and two army officers carry a large wreath. Various civic dignitaries are seen entering the town hall and a poster is seen bearing the words "wear your poppy". Rows of firemen are seen standing to attention as the clock reaches 10am.
