A group of people in the background are sitting on a blanket watching the match as a woman swings her racket. The camera pans over to the young children clapping as they watch the game. A group of adults arrange deckchairs on the grass and sit down to watch. A man then carries a tray with drinks on and hands them out to the group. Close up of a man drinking. Men play a game of bowls and roll a ball one by one across the grass. Close ups of the bowls game. A man shakes hands with one of the women sitting on the deckchairs watching the game. More close-ups of men playing bowls. A woman carrying flowers and wearing a long dress and hat walks across the garden towards the camera. The camera pans along her outfit and zooms in on the flowers she is holding. Another woman holds a box whilst smiling at the camera. Another woman wearing an apron stands in front of the house looking at the camera, followed by a shot of a man holding a broom walking towards her. He then sweeps the floor. The woman in the apron walks down the steps away from him while laughing. A shot of a church before panning down to the gravestones in front of it.
