I was interested to view this, I was one of the Wolf Cubs who paraded for the Queen when she came to Wallingford. I remember that a few days later, we all went to the cinema to watch the Pathé News of the Royal Visit. At the ticket office my mother was told 'your son is on the news'. Quite a small community! I recall that the film included a section where the camera panned along the cubs on parade, but this version is just edited highlights. Maybe there is an unedited reel somewhere? The cub at the front of the crowd scene could be me, but that is probably just wishful thinking!
