Description

The Edwards family are seen on the beach on different occasions. They play on the beach and in the sea and the adults are seen sitting on a sand dune. We also see them playing cricket on a caravan site. There are snow scenes and we see people sledging down a hill. There are scenes from day trips to Cumbria and of a display of military biplanes. There are brief scenes from Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip's trip to Mansfield in 1949. We see the royal couple from a distance as they wave to the crowds from their car. The film ends with scenes from a family wedding. We see the bride and her father arrive before the wedding, and the wedding party posing for photos with their guests after the ceremony.
