Looking east-by-north from the top of the central steps in Central Avenue showing the parade ground of HMS Pembroke, the Chatham Royal Naval Barracks, during the final port Ceremonial Divisions. The Royal Marine Band is playing in the centre of the parade while the divisions and the guard stand at ease. The invited guests and dignitaries are seated at the edge of the parade ground and a large number of spectators are at the railings of Central Avenue, watching the proceedings. A colour transparency.
