        Colchester: 900 Years Old Ceremony

        What better way to wash down the first oyster catch of the year than gin, gingerbread, and a dollop of pomp and ceremony?

        Non-Fiction 1920 1 mins Silent

        Overview

        Wearing giant jewellery, ribbon snipping, and baby kissing are just some of the mayoral responsibilities often performed on camera. But come the first Friday of September in Colchester, the Mayor can be seen getting his hands dirty with the first oyster catch of the season - before guzzling down gin, gingerbread and shellfish for assorted crowds and newsreel cameras.
