First Footers (1928)

Full titles read: '“First Footers“ - Lord Provost Sir David Mason leads official party across new King George V Bridge after opening ceremony.' Glasgow, Scotland. M/S of a group of men, including Lord Provost Sir David Mason, gathering in front of a tape stretched across the road at the start of the new King George V Bridge. The Lord Provost cuts the ribbon to open the bridge and the group walk across it, to be followed by a large crowd of people. Great high angle L/S looking down onto the bridge as crowds of people swarm across it. I love this film! Simple event, but quite stirring and nicely edited! FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
