Overview

This film appears to show some elderly men and women from London taking a coach trip. It’s not clear where they are going to or from – possibly into the Essex countryside – but they look very happy as they pose for the camera, while a pair of young girls walk past, intrigued by the camera. They are later seen inside some sort of social club or diner, enjoying a nice cup of tea.
