Description

A group of Manchester children return from a three month stay in Switzerland as guests of the children of the Swiss Red Cross. They travel by train from Folkestone. Their parents are seen making their way to the station in Manchester, where, together with the Mayor and Mayoress, they greet the children on arrival.
