Very nice wedding love watching but what is up with those hats on the brides maids??

The 29th Croydon, Shirley Parish Hall, was in cubs and scouts late 60's, early 70's, what memories the vid brings back.

thanks for uploading this...the second is my father's and his friend Ray

Mr Macaulay I hope you and you and your wife have had a happy life together and have a life time of wonderful memories Thankyou for sharing.

I literally just learnt this song in school what are coincidence 😂

This captures the start so many of the changes we have experienced in the last half century. Thankyou for your comments. I am so pleased you have enjoyed watching.

Thankyou for your comments. By accident, this is also a documentary on life and values in the suburbs.

What is all this crap about?

The happy faces of people before the scourge of the internet

Her dress is beautiful.

I got married in 1976 Simple, naive times This is so funny.The way the women are in charge, brushing off suits, generally interfering with everything though the real boss is the photographer. The photographer ruled the day now everyone has a mobile phone in their faces. Weddings now have bouncy castles, trips abroad, light shows, swimming pools, dressed-up dogs, pole dancers basically an expensive freak show

wow margaret was so beautiful. film star looks.

When England was proud and beautiful, lovely wedding.

My wedding in 1998 looked very similar to this one, I should post it! Too many brides today look too bare for church, in strapless and backless gowns. It’s supposed to be a holy day, not a sexy day. But many brides today also still get it right, and look lovely.

beautiful

Andrew, are these people your parents?

Andrew the start is a little confusing. Is this their first baby or first grandchild? Just wondering 😊

I love the dresses but what I would really want is the car that brought the bride to the church

They would be in their 80s of they were still alive.

Thank you Andrew, I'm the little boy at the beginning looking into the camera.

Hi ! I am writing to you from Grand Angle Productions, a production company based in France who is presently producing a documentary on the nullity of the marriage. The film will be aired on KTO, the French Catholic channel. It will aim at informing about is the nullity of a marriage. For this documentary I’m looking for old wedding footages. These wedding pictures would allow us to illustrate the words of an ecclesiastical judge who will speak to us about the history of marriage in the Bible, the sacrament of marriage in the church, the meaning of the exchange of consents, the pillars of marriage and how a marriage can be invalid. The images we will use will not be used to say that the marriage of these people is invalid, they will only allow us to illustrate the above-mentioned statements as well as to see the different stages of a marriage such as the arrival of the bride at the church as well as the exit of the couple in front of the church. Moreover, our documentary does not speak about the end of a marriage but about the fact that a marriage can be considered null and void if the spouses did not respect the conditions of formation of the marriage. This part of the documentary will be illustrated by testimonies of people who experienced the nullity of their marriage So, I am contacting you to ask for permission to use it. If you cannot grant it, would you kindly let me know who I should contact to grant such an authorization?

Absolutely beautiful poignant of days gone by. Where is St George's Church assume UK but where? The music is brilliant and just adds to the beauty of the wedding

we still have those blazers now! 0:59

may i ask how you got all these school videos>

hey man, i saw the st johns 1958 sports day in croydon, have you heard anything about james white i think it is 1980

My gosh is that Wing Commander Ellerton at 4:23? I was lucky enough to frequent parascending at Seaford in 75/76 and we had moved to Thorney Island (plenty of space and no trees) I can see from the mishaps in the video why they had discontinued parascending in the school grounds, massive as they were. Since Seaford, I took up gliding and now back under a wing with Paramotoring (almost like old days!)

I was lived in shirley for 10 years, I know some of the people in video, have you got any more you can show us ,

What beautiful footage.. lovely bride and bridesmaids . Today’s weddings cost a fortune but pale in comparison to these lovely, simple ones. The Wedding gowns now are more than the lovely weddings from this era! Everything now is a ‘Theme’ - all focused on who can come up with something ‘Different’ ! It’s so sad that many of them don’t even last beyond a couple of years.

Them bridesmaids dresses are pretty

Hi - I'm glad you enjoyed. Thankyou for commenting.

This is amazing, i was at Shirley Oaks at that time, i was only 19 months old though and stayed there just over a year!

I went the next year 1963. We were spared canvas and stayed in the Youth Hostel. I do remember the cooking facilities at the camp though.

I dont know how I came across this but glad I did a real trip down memory lane as for the kids amazing the little lad typical boy and the older girl like a little mum real heart warming of days gone by

Lovely 😊

Wow I was there when Marksman Lager sponsored the Championships 82 ish :)

I still think those weddings were much prettier. Loved the lacy dresses and the big veils with sweet little headpieces to hold them onto your head. Weddings are not even interesting these days.

I remember doing this play as a Y6 in 2003. Thank you for sharing these clips.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Wow I remember singing this in 1996 at Seely Juniors In Nottingham! Many thanks for uploading :)

Walter Neumarks bloody inflatable sausages, remember blowing those up, "Top, Two!", long grass, constant changes of launch point when the wind changes - Heaven.. Thanks for posting this series Andrew - I am officially very old!! Cheers Bill

What a time, ram airs coming in to take over from the PCs, lovely summers, skinny people, Andy Cowley, Tom Beardsley, home made wings, landrover tows, tensios - a time of innocence. Miss it.

I'm glad you liked the music. Chloe, who works with me was responsible. Here is a link to more of her work: soundcloud.com/chollyhappymusic

I love the song. Who composed it?

One beautiful bride.

Glad you enjoyed. We all had fun - and survived.
