Princess Margaret visited Ramsgate in 1950 and went to Ramsgate Hospital. The report says a guard of honour by the West Kents was there so I guess that was the occasion in the photo.

I think I can see either the Queen or Princess Margaret in the background?

They look very young, so that means either (1) I'm getting very old or (2) it is a cadets' (ATC or CCF) parade at a school.
