Winifred (Glynis Johns) and George Banks (David Tomlinson) find joy by flying kites with their children in the film's bittersweet ending.

In MEMORY of DAVID TOMLINSON on his BIRTHDAY - English stage, film and television actor and comedian. Having been described as both a leading man and a character actor, he is primarily remembered for his roles as authority figure George Banks in Mary Poppins, fraudulent magician Professor Emelius Browne in Bedknobs and Broomsticks and as hapless antagonist Peter Thorndyke in The Love Bug. Tomlinson was posthumously inducted as a Disney Legend in 2002. May 7, 1917 - Jun 24, 2000 (stroke)

David Tomlinson, actor 1917-2000 - I remember him most from Mary Poppins. He played the children's father. RIP David.
