Description: Crowds of people are amassed on the green, including some men in uniform. Churchill's open top car arrives led by police outriders on horseback, and followed by other vehicles. He is filmed leaving his car and walking out of shot through the crowds, immediately followed with shots of him returning to his car via the same route, the camera evidently having been turned off for the intervening period of his visit.
