Title | The Procession
The parade begins down the street with a marching band and the children in fancy dress.
Title | Members of the Council
Four smartly-dressed men walk down the street in front of the band and children, heading past a large house with manicured lawns.
Title | The Childrens Sports
Running races for boys and girls are shown, before the crowd watches an egg and spoon race.
Title | The Children's Sports
In what appears to be a different location, there are more running races and a skipping race, for which the girls are handed sweets and prizes.
Title | Clayton West Procession
The parade is led by a marching band, many of whom are wearing overcoats. A horse-drawn carriage carries the May Queen and her maids of honour. There is a banner reading "British Work People" before floats and a toddler riding a pony. The four council members wear rosettes and march at the front of the procession, followed by children in fancy dress, and the film ends.
