This is a film made by Vaughan and Co. of Hull of procession through Preston, in East Riding, for Remembrance Day in Preston 1945.
The film begins with a boy’s band parading through the streets of Preston, with All Saints Church seen in the distance. They are followed by marching women, wearing poppies, and soldiers, with girl scouts bringing up the rear. Behind them are a couple of girls with a pram. Others stand in the street and by doorways. A war memorial is shown, listing those that had died from the Parish in the Great War. The film goes very dark as a service being held in the church is filmed. After the service the procession continues through the streets (extremely dark).
