VIDEO: MARLBOROUGH OX ROAST 1972

This film comes from a longer feature made by Wiltshire County Council in November 1974 to mark celebrations for the Queen's Silver Wedding in Marlborough, Wiltshire. The town put on an ox roast and festivities to honour the royal couple's 25 years of marriage, with the Mayor, Councillor Tony Gray, given the honour of carving the first slice.
