Standard 8mm film Colour Mute 1963 5:33
Summary: Unidentified boy with Raby family at their house on the Becontree Estate, before the wedding of Alan Raby in Ilford.
Title number: 19477
LSA ID: LSA/25859
Description: Young boy is dressed up in a suit for a wedding, filmed in garden on the Becontree Estate. Men, also dressed up in suits for the wedding, are drinking in the house. We then see the exterior of the Roman Catholic Church of St Peter and St Paul (High Road, Ilford). The groom and guests congregate outside the church, all wearing white flowers in buttonholes; women wear big hats and bridesmaids wear bright blue dresses. The older women wear matching coats and hats; some women have large bouffant hairdos and one wears a large fluffy purple hat. Bride exits a car on Ilford High Road, wearing a white dress with large veil and a big skirt: a London bus goes past in the background and we also see a cafe called Mocha. After the wedding the bride and groom pose for photos with the family and guests, and confetti is thrown. The bride's veil blows up in the wind, and then they are driven away in a car.
