They all go inside the building. Dark shots inside show the men sitting and talking.
Guard of Honour. Monty salutes from the other side of the road. A staff cars arrive; Russian officers get out and are greeted by Monty. L/S of cannon firing salute. Russian officers inspect British soldiers; Russian cameraman films it all. Monty and Russian officer (General?) pose together outside building. Inside we see Monty raising a toast then the men sit and talk. Monty and Russian officer clink wine glasses for a photograph.
The group come outside again and walk about. Monty and others salute as the Russian drive off. Two army cameramen (US military press?) get into a jeep and smile at the camera before saying goodbye to comrades. Russian hammer and sickle flag is hoisted up a flagpole.
