The image shows the backs of two young children, a boy and a girl. The boy is standing upright, holding the girl whose arm is wrapped around his shoulder. Both children have their backs to the camera, so their facial features are not visible. The boy has light-colored, short hair and is wearing a knitted, striped sweater. The girl also has light-colored hair styled into braids with a large bow on the top, wearing a dress with a collar. A floral pattern is visible on the girl. They are surrounded by a crowd, with another person partially visible to the left holding a flag with the Union Jack design. In the background, the top framework of a ride or structure is visible.
