Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Duke of Gloucester at Woodford. SHOTLIST: Shot of the Duke planting tree. He opens Ashton playing fields at Woodford Green. Shot of Mr Ramsay MacDonald. Mr Winston Churchill speaking. The Duke is seated alongside. He walks through lines of waving boys. Churchill’s Speech - "Of those elder Statesmen to whose ranks quite a number of persons are anxious to promote me and which I believe I may attain ultimately if I am good". (Audience laugh). 30ft. NB The above speech does not seem to make sense. The commentator suggests he may have been referring to Ramsay MacDonald who had previously made a speech (not recorded).
