Description

Views of pleasure and sailing boats on a lake in the Lake District followed by a young girl on a pony as the adults watch on. A family enjoying alcoholic drinks on a sunny day in the countryside then baby Andrew in his pram with his family stood in front of a hotel. At a country show we see a cavalry display, shire horses, horse drawn vehicles, showjumping and a motorcycle display team. A parade during the Preston Guild, with majorettes, marching bands, floats and children in fancy dress is followed by the brass bands and country dancing by men in drag at the local cricket ground.
