The Mayor, his wife and the senior Guides walk in a field between two rows of Guides standing to attention. The Guides follow on behind the mayoral party.
Others waiting for the official opening, stand or sit outside the hut. The mayor meets with some of them. With everyone seated just in front of the wooden hut a senior Guide addresses the mayor and the other guests. The camera shows some of the other guests who are seated nearby.
