A group of women are lined up in fancy dress, and children in fancy dress are seated on the back of a lorry, G W Waite Ltd, Haulage contractors, Hedon, a float, part of a procession.  In a field, four adults and a child, all in fancy dress, pose for the camera next to a building with a round corrugated roof.  Again the children’s float is shown.  There are more adults in fancy dress, including a man in a Charlie Chaplin outfit standing next to a women dressed as a black cat.  They hold up a union jack banner with a picture of Queen Elizabeth II.  Charlie Chaplin drives a tractor which pulls a float carrying a woman dressed as a queen. The procession makes its way out of the filed, next to Hedon brickworks and Pottery, J W Robson and Sons, and through the town, with a couple of men wearing a fez.  The procession stops in a street.
