This is a film made by Vaughan and Co. of Hull of a fancy dress procession, possibly in Hedon in East Riding celebrating the Queen’s Coronation in 1953. The film begins with a children’s fancy dress procession emerging from Princess Avenue, with one girl dressed with the slogan “Reckitt’s Bag Blue, Whitest”, followed by a group of adults.  The film switches to a field where a boy is dressed as a human sculpture, with another pretending to chisel him.  They line up for inspection, with two boys in cowboy suits, another as Charlie Chaplin, and another wearing a protective helmet.  Other members of the village stand and sit in front of a large marquee.  More of the children in fancy dress are shown, including pirates, gypsies, and a chimney sweep.  The adults stand in front of them looking.
