Filmed by Louis Le Prince at Oakwood Grange in Roundhay, Leeds on October 14, 1888, Roundhay Garden Scene is believed to be the oldest surviving film in existence.
The three-second film features Adolphe Le Prince (Louis's son), his parents-in-law, Joseph and Sarah Whitley, and Annie Hartley, a friend of Adolphe and his wife. Sarah Whitley died only 10 days after the scene was filmed, making her earliest born person to appear on film.
