  • I have been trying to establish the actual date when this parade took place. I now think it was Sunday 19 May 1968

  • Thanks hap5hippo. If it helps at all, we have a record stating that this film was released in cinemas on 23/05/1968, so it was definitely filmed before 23rd.

    We're working on putting up the release dates for all of the clips shortly.
