jubilee weekend

So, today we are celebrating Queen Elizabeth II's diamond jubilee - 60 years on the throne. The extra bank holiday and lovely long weekend is much appreciated, although last weekend would have worked out better than this one, weather-wise!

I've found some old family photos from 1952 - including a couple of the coronation street party my dad's family were part of! (Dad is the wee little dwt, the smallest of the little lads in the last two pics)
