Description

Scenes from Macclesfield Carnival, there is a parade of brightly coloured floats and we also see the spectators. There are brief shots of the town centre decorated with bunting, which looks like it could be for the Silver Jubilee. There are general countryside views with shots of sheep, and we see small boys throwing fallen branches into horse chestnut trees to bring down the conkers.
