This amateur compilation consists of miscellaneous footage filmed at special events in London and at a busy 1930s lido in a park. The film is part of the Newcastle & District Amateur Cinematographers Association (ACA) collection. Large crowds are on the London streets decorated with flags and bunting, possibly for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. A double decker bus bound for Victoria passes by. Three young men in the crowd walking down a busy shopping street, possibly Regent Street, smile at the camera. A delivery man in a ‘Parkinsons Royal Doncaster Butterscotch’ overall crosses the street. Down another street, a regiment of Royal Horse Guards ride by. An open carriage drives by carrying civic dignitaries. (?) The pavements are crowded with people watching the parade taking place. People are lounging in a park. There’s a big queue of people at the entrance to a 1930s lido, possibly Brockwell Park, near Brixton, South London. Inside the pool is crowded. Many people are using the diving platforms and the water slide. People sunbathe in the stands. There’s a shot of the fountain at the lido.
