News from the Past.


The coronation featured in this old copy of the Illustrated London News is that of King George V in 1911,  and the Royal Jubilee being celebrated is his 25th. The Star newspaper is dated 1935.

Te He! I won a fancy dress competition at his Jubillee pageant in Coventry, dressed as Little BoPeep in a pink crepe paper dress and poke bonnet!
I recall all the noise and bustle of the event and the stalls as well as seeing bare knuckle boxing in a ring!
