An amateur film produced by Joe Cole of Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee celebrations taking place on Fell Close in the village of Sunniside near Gateshead. Various games take place in the road involving many of the local residents as well as food and drinks provided as part of the celebration. Title: Coronation Day Fell Close June 7th 1977 A marque has been set up in the garden of a semi-detached suburban home. A line of Union Jacks hang down from the house and across the street. At the front door a man hands out Union Jacks to a crowd of children, they proceed to wave them. Two women come out of the marquee; a table set up inside is full of plates of food. A crowd gather in the street, the children still waving their flags. Some of the adults are wearing various combinations of red, white, and blue, one woman wears a Union Jack hat. In the street a woman marks a line in chalk, a man on crutches come over towards a woman sitting on a stool. A crowd watch from the pavement as children take part in a series of three-legged races. A woman wearing a Union Jack hat comes over with a cake tin and begins offer the content to those on the street. Two small children have their own little race, the crowds continue to stand around chatting happily. Children take part in a number of egg and spoon race again watched by adults standing and waving from the pavement. Two men also take part in the third and final race. Another race begins with children jumping along the road with a balloon between their knees. A number of women take part in their own race. A woman sits on the ground beside a garden gate stroking a dog in her lap and waving a Union Jack. Men take part in another race in which they are blindfolded and walk cautiously along the road, children poke and prod them as they pass. Two teams of boys take part in a tug-o-war in the middle of the street followed by a relay race including both children and adults. Spectators along the pavement shout on encouragement. People come out of the marquee carrying plates of food and cups of drink, and the film ends with everyone either sitting along the walk or in the garden enjoying their meal.
