This film was shot from the balcony of the Empire cinema and shows the procession travelling up Hertford Street and then turning right into High Street.

Always fascinating to watch these old films. Hopefully the 'modern version' will be a bit better in 2012 than it was this year.
The Coventry Telegraph is the best Newspaper in the world. Honest.
