The film includes: the welcome in Aberdeen Town House by Councillor Neil Cooney; the unveiling of plaques to volunteers Bob Cooney and John Londragan; Bob Cooney's poem 'Hasta La Vista Madrid' and songs; greetings from Russia; blessing of a replica of a Spanish Republican flag that was used as a shroud for the bodies of Archie Dewar and Tom Robinson and a reading of the names of all the Aberdeen volunteers in the Kirk of St Nicholas Uniting; the grand parade through Aberdeen led by Grampian District Pipes and Drums finishing at Castlegate, where in the 1930s the people of Aberdeen faced down Mosley's fascist supporters.
