Great footage. Yet another civic reception when we packed Victoria Square. Looking at both films, there seem to be more at the 1982 event, hardly surprising as it was a warm Friday evening.
As we dispersed at the end of the reception, we were singing that we'd be back next year. How wrong we were.
Happy memories and as I recall, the crowd had a real jingoistic vibe to it; this was in the middle of the Falklands war and many versions of Rule Britannia and Land of Hope and Glory were sung. All were dropped when Sir Dennis and co apperared on the balcony.
