Description

Leyland Motors employees visit London - they arrive by steam train, and then crowd into charabancs to drive through the city. A life size model of a lion, complete with wagging tail, is seen on the roof of a Leyland Lioness 1927 All Weather Coach. The motorcade drives into Trafalgar Square - the model is carried across the square, attracting a crowd of onlookers.
