Dr Fletcher’s Daughter’s Wedding (1962)

Dr Fletcher’s Daughter’s Wedding (Dr Fletcher - MP and Director of Associated British Pathe Corporation.) Titles read: ’St Margaret’s, Westminster - 4th August 1962’ - superimposed over shot of St Margaret’s Church with Big Ben in the background. Closer shots of the church. Cut to a vicar and a man in morning dress walking down a path, away from a house in a leafy (countryside?) setting. They both get into a grey car and drive off. Crowds waiting outside the church to see people arrive for the wedding. Several shots of wedding guests arriving in their finery and chatting outside the church. Lots of feathered, flowered, and draped chiffon hats for the ladies. A few more clergymen among the arrivals. M/S of mother of the bride and bridesmaids in a garden. The bride comes floating out through the French windows in a white dress with long sleeves, high slash neck and a big bouffant skirt with a train, plus veil. Everyone admires her. (The poor bridesmaids’ dresses don’t fit very well.) Bridesmaid
