Description: There’s a wonderful selection of clips in this home movie, including some marvellous shots of London taken from the top of the recently opened Post Office Tower and also of a parade through the centre of Ilford featuring splendid decorated floats. Also captured are several family occasions, including a 21st birthday, a wedding and Christmas.

There’s a lot to enjoy on this 16-minute film. The Ilford parade is one highlight, showing what seems to be Scouts and Guides in well-decorated floats passing Ilford’s rare regional branch of Selfridges. Harrison Gibson store can also be seen as the floats pass along the High Road. The family scenes, mostly from the Kench home on Henley Road, are also great – the smoking and decorations at a 21st birthday party, a wedding at Vine Congregational Church, Richmond Road and the joyful children playing at Christmas, and the joyful children playing at Christmas with balloons and new toys, while mum unwraps a violently green rug. But the undoubted highlights are the shots from the Post Office Tower – first filmed from a distance on Tottenham Court Road – which show landmarks such as Regent’s Park, Euston Station, Senate House and Centre Point from the top of the tower. There’s also a nice shot of the viewing platform interior, showing people taking photographs of the view.
