Summary: Wedding of Tony Boulter's niece Lynn in Barking
Title number: 19473
LSA ID: LSA/25855
Description: Two bridesmaids arrive in bright pink suits with pink hats, a younger girl in white poses between them. The bride arrives accompanied by her father; she wears a large white dress with huge veil which she struggles with momentarily before posing for the cameras, they continue down a path, the bride smiling nervously. Guests assemble in the street and pose for the camera next to bus stop; we see the London bus 162 go past (coming from Stratford). The bride and groom, covered in confetti, pose for the camera. The wedding guests crowd around a bus stop, a lady with red hair in an impressive bouffant and a black dress with polka dot sleeves leans into view, next to a crowd of elderly ladies, one of whom wears an ornate flower on her dress. Ladies wearing Twinsets and matching hats pose for the camera. We see the interior of a room with a large wedding cake.
