Note: The last item, from 450ft, should appear at the beginning of the film, hence the title may be CELEBRATING EMPIRE DAY..... The carnival processes down All Saints Street at what is known to have been the location of the film studio of local illustrator and filmmaker Harry Furniss, who very likely therefore made the film.
