This really was a Photohunt and I found it when I wasn't really looking! I decided to look through a box of old photographs belonging to my Mum and Dad and found this photo. Perfect for the Party theme - the occasion? The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, unfortunately I am not in the photograph and I don't know who the people are, it was taken at the street party on the day of the coronation.
The tables are all set for my friend's 40th Wedding Anniversary party.
The coronation party shot is remarkable. What a cool one to have. I also like the shot of the tables which are set for the anniversary. I hope you have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carver, my Dad, who was a semi-professional photographer took the photograph.

Paul Galico wrote a story about the coronation (entitled "Coronation") which captured something special about the event. A family travels from somewhere to London to join in the festivities. Although no one actually sees the coronation, nor even the new queen, everyone in the family gets something special from the effort. I remember especially the daughter--probably the age of those int he photo--went looking for a princess. She caught a glimpse through the crowd of some wispy pink gown, and that, to her, was a fairy princess.

Lovely entries. How wonderful to have such a clear photo of a Coronation street-party. I remember my little sister had a sailor-suit dress like that one in the foreground. Mothers were stitching for weeks to turn old clothes int red, white, and blue bunting. A great time was had by all.
ReplyDeleteThe old black and white photo is so precious. The ladies look so dainty wearing hats.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a grand party for a 40 year wedding anniversay!
