A stray sequence of nice shots of crowds of people on the South Bank in London at dusk, most are standing in front of the Royal Festival Hall. We look across the River Thames to see the Shell Building. Waterloo Bridge is lit by a string of lights across its length. As it gets darker we see several illuminated barges go by - not very clearly. Some of the stationary barges seem to have water jets spurting from them. A barge featuring fire breathing dragons is seen. We then see fireworks going off - in L/Ss. The fireworks seen at the end of the LASERS story are probably from this footage - the cut story is better for firework shots. I am not sure what the water carnival and fireworks are celebrating - Chinese New Year? Lord Mayor's Show? Some kind of Thames festival?
