A young man on horseback leads a girls’ dance troupe and a marching brass band in the 1981 Lower Withington Rose Queen Festival.

At the showground the brass band accompanies the Rose Queen coronation ceremony followed by competitions and prize giving for fancy dress, best decorated floats and bicycles. The film ends with children dancing around the May pole and a Morris dancing demonstration. |
