Day Trip to Eastbourne


This holiday film starts with the Diamonds boarding an East Kent coach. Arriving in Eastbourne, we see the pier and a beach packed with holiday makers - many sitting in deckchairs. After taking photos of the beach, Roger and Gillian walk with Mum and Grandma along the promenade and buy lollies at a stall. They are next seen walking around the model village before the film ends with Grace and Gillian sitting in deckchairs.
