"Hitchen Hospital" in title should read Hitchin Hospital.
"Hitchen Hospital" in the text might be replaced with the official location, namely the North Hertfordshire and South Bedfordshire Hospital, in Hitchin.
Reducing the clip's current date range of 1920-29, the event seen here took place on 20 July 1929.
Here's a nice piece about the souvenir programme produced to mark the day....
