Banff 600th Anniversary - 1972

This is footage from Banffs 600th Anniversary Pageant.
(badly edited by me I hasten to add -
when I have time I may go through the full DVD)
My mother, Helen Donnelly, plays Mary Queen of Scots.
Filmed in 1972 by, I believe, A J Bodie, photographer of Banff.
I have come by this via a family friend (thanks Jacqueline).
Others involved in making this available to view have been
Reggie Connon and Bill Bain of Bodies. The still photography is
by Andrew Taylor of Banff.
Im unsure of some of this so sorry if Ive got it wrong and Im sure there will
be a few others involved.
I had to post this for friends and family to get the chance to see my mum
in action after all these years. I remember being there - I was 5.
Seeing this was amazing as my mother passed away in 1988 so this was quite emotional.
Huge thanks to Sara Bills for allowing me to use her wonderful track 'Right Here'
The movie files had no sound so I needed some music. Cheers Sara !!
If youre not from Banff or me then it may not mean a great deal to you.......
