High angled shot of a procession of students in fancy dress coming down a crowd lined street, a man dressed as a Middle Eastern Sultan waves his cutlass from the horse drawn cart he stands on. Various shots of students waving at the crowds from floats driving down streets; one float is decorated like an elephant. M/S of a section of the procession ; some of the students are dressed as comedy bishops and vicars.
