Golden Wedding at Ellel House


50 years together - congratulations! A family celebration of a long and happy married life.

In this affectionate film portrait, family, friends and dog come together at Ellel House in Lancaster to celebrate the Golden Wedding of William and Lucy Armitage. As well as being a happy family gathering, this is a time of reminiscence for the elderly couple, who sit and look at their beautiful turn of the century wedding photographs before taking a leisurely turn together around the garden.
