Woburn Love-In (1967)

Woburn Park, Bedfordshire. Various shots shows hippies emerging from a psychedelic van, tents and a double-decker bus in the grounds of Woburn Park. Hippies in colourful flower-power clothes with flowers in their hair walk past the stately home at Woburn; one man wears a Union Jack Flag as a cloak over his shoulders. Several shots show people buying beads and paper flowers from sellers at this ’Love-in’. Painted signs, some on the sides of cars, read ’Psychedelic Happening’, ’Flower Power’ and ’Free Love’. Scenes of hippy couples; tracking shot past numerous people lying on the grass, tapping their feet to music and smoking. People crowd around the back of a van, where real flowers (man!) are being handed out; a woman attaches carnations to Don Piccard’s crash helmet; we then then see Don, preparing to take off in a hot air balloon. Commentator says he is the son of the great balloonist pioneer. Various shots of the hot air balloon flying over the Love-in and dropping hundreds of flowers on
