A home movie of the 1972 Redcar Carnival Queen procession along the town’s seafront featuring decorative floats, Juvenile Jazz Bands and costumed children. The film features the filmmaker’s daughter on the lead float having been crowned Queen that year.
The film opens on a Rington’s Tea horse and carriage. Two young girls sit on the back of a decorative float, the girl at the front wears a sash and flowers in her hair. Nearby a number of adults and costumed children stand around, some beside the car from the film Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang waiting for the procession to begin.
On another decorative float three uniformed young people, possibly members of the St John's Ambulance, perform a first-aid demonstration on a dummy. Another child dressed in armour and carrying a fake sword walks towards a third float.
The two girls seen previously speak with someone on the road below them as everyone else continues to wait for the event to start.
A number of decorative floats and a line of costumed children stand ready for the off. The float with the two girls gets underway and makes its way slowly along Redcar seafront watched by crowds standing along the pavement. A Juvenile Jazz Band in red tunics follows on behind marching behind their banner, majorettes twirl their batons at the front.
From another position along the Redcar seafront, Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang drives slowly past followed by the two girls on their float which is being pulled by a tractor. The girl with the sash smiles and waves at the crowd, the Juvenile Jazz Band marches behind.
Following behind the jazz band a line of costumed children and behind them a second Juvenile Jazz Band in blue and white. The film ends with more costumed children parading along the road.
