LS Churchill on balcony. LS Front view ditto. LS Cheering crowds. LS Another crowd scene. MS Personalities leaving a building. LS High shot, pan across massive crowds listening to Churchill’s speech (only a few fragments of speech are audible, because of the cuts). (Nat. sound). MS Churchill speaking “I am proud to be invited to come here and to address this immense audience, thousands and thousands of human beings. I can assure you that the kindness with which you treat me does not make me vain or conceited because I know that it is not because of my personality, such as it may be, (laughter from crowd), it is because I have become associated, by the Grace of God, with some of the causes which are most precious to mankind, and which will ever find their faithful servants and champions in the people
