High angle shot of large crowd of people moving through a city street. "Armistice Day - Eight years ago in Paris - " High angle shot of a Paris street full of people. Confetti (or tiny pieces of paper) is thrown from a window. High angle shot of large crowd seen on street below. M/S of group of soldiers holding rifles marching through a city street. An American flag is held aloft. "In London --" High angle shot of large crowd smiling and waving handkerchiefs. Closer shot, camera pans across happy children's faces - small flags are waved.
