Britain on film

[Jill on the A272]

I've just been looking at my home town as it was in 1962, hundreds of films to choose from

I could spend hours looking - something to do when there's nothing worth watching on TV.

Amazed! In my family's photo album are pictures of me and my siblings at my home town's Coronation celebrations in 1953. I've just looked on the BFI's site and found a 15 minute amatuer film of the celebrations. I'm there in the crowd somewhere!!! I know what I will be doing for the next few days.

Thank you, thank you!

The Stockton-On-Tees one for 1910 is in the General section, I watched the mayors parade of 1913 and could have sworn I saw a few familiar faces but my Granddad Albert wasnt born until 1921 so it certainly couldn't have been him.

Just been watching the 1977 Queen's jubilee day at Lindfield which I refused to go to with my parents - still convinced I made the right decision (I stayed home and patched my jeans)

Val are you in the UK? I'm afraid that sadly it's only for UK people, as it is I had to use my tablet for non UK people on the Stockton groups before finding a link on Youtube if you catch my hint.

I can't watch it either as I get a message telling me adobe flash player needs updating, so I download it and install, then when I try again it tells me its out of date and needs updating, I get this regularly and each time I get a message offering me cloud for a price per month so how to I remedy this.
