An amateur film produced by Ronald Padgett begins with a group of young people in French Revolutionary costumes standing beside a decorative float they will be riding on later in the film as part of a parade past Leeds Town Hall. On the steps of the town hall a large crowd of costumed people followed by a series of decorative floats, plus a procession queen, driving past crowds along Calverley Street. Title: Children’s Day Leeds 1961 A group of young people gather round a mock guillotine atop a flatbed lorry, some of them wearing costumes from the French Revolution. They watch as the blade drops. Costumed characters climb onboard the float, some sit around the edge of the lorry dressed as Tricoteuse or knitting women. A large crowd of costumed young people stand on the steps of Leeds Town Hall. A group of them slowly descend the steps to Calverley Street. A large crowd gathers along Calverley Street outside the town hall watching as two policemen on horseback lead a marching brass band past followed by a series of decorative floats. A young woman wearing a tiara and red robe drives past in an open top car waving, more floats follow behind including the one since at the start of the film. End title: The end
