I'm drifting back to Dreamland

The YouTube blarb written by Kester1940 which accompanys this wonderful slice of Dreamland nostalgia is as follows:
If you ever took a holiday or a day trip to Margate during the heyday of this Kent seaside resort, my compilation of film and stills should bring back happy memories. The core of the material featured is an 8mm home movie that I took in 1961 on a day trip from Southend-on-Sea aboard the steamer, MV Royal Daffodil, and I've cut in some earlier filmed clips from other sources. Much of the action is centred on Margate's famous amusement park, Dreamland - and includes footage of the legendary Scenic Railway and many other rides - some of which had thrilled generations of holiday-makers - as far back as the 1930s. The accompanying music is the appropriately titled 'I'm Drifting Back To Dreamland' played on Hammond Organ by Ken Griffin. Enjoy!
