Interesting note on that in the article here if you scroll down to the 'music' section at the bottom.

Lots of people have been looking for an answer to this but I've never seen a correct reply, some suggest The Swan by Saint-Saens which it certainly isn't, others suggest Brahms, but with no particular piece. I thought it was Elgar but can't find the piece. It sounds early 20th century British to me, so perhaps Walton, Vaughn Williams, Butterworth. But I'm not sure what. As an aside this clip wan't filmed for Jubilee, Jarmam had been creating an 8 ml film of Jordan before he conceived Jubilee. He added this clip to Jubilee before completion. Nowhere is the piece noted or included on CD or DVD as far as I know

Good article Ludwig

Thank you both for your answers.
It was a friend of mine who was wondering, and that's why I put the question up here. I had no idea it was such a mystery. I doubt we'll get the answer on here if people have been searching for it for years..
