What is the song played at the end of the show when he is on the beach?

@M14A4BulldogTank It's Percy Grainger's "Lincolnshire Posy". As is the music that proceeds it. As far as I know, the only recording in 1963 would have been the Eastman Rochester ensemble conducted by Frederick Fennell.
There's a good recording on YouTube by the North Texas Wind Symphony.

I live there! It's a lot diferent now unfortunately. Not even the ruins exist anymore - a very prosperous place that has gone seemingly down hill since the sixties :-(. I'm glad I didn't know the place in it's prime - it would be hard to accept now
