Ted Diamond's happy film captures his family's outing to Bekonscot Model Village in Beaconsfield. His children Gillian and Roger, who proudly carries his own camera, make their way about the scaled down buildings, bridges and airport – complete with aircraft. They then arrive at Windsor Castle and wander about the grounds and gardens where two grenadier guards are seen chatting. The family then moves to the banks of the River Thames where Gillian and Roger feed the swans.
