Lancashire / Re: The Rampling Families in Lancashire - Please Help!!!

I think your school friend was my sister Alison Grindrod (nee Rampling). She celebrated her Diamond Wedding two weeks ago (2 April).
Her elder sister Jennifer died last year.
Our father was indeed a doctor as was our mother (both deceased of course).
Good luck
John Rampling

Good idea. The link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWLwwWfppGQ
Any poor quality of image is due to passage of time while the original 8mm film has been in storage.

My father was a Major in St John's Ambulance and I often accompanied him to the cycle races at the Harris Stadium in Fallowfield in the 1960s. I remember the parade you mentioned where their patron Douglas Fairbanks junior was the guest, and in fact I have a three-minute cine clip of the event which I have converted into a digital movie. Let me know if you want a copy.
