Video description

Towns all over Britain literally went to town to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth ll on June 2, 1953. Aylesbury (Bucks) was no exception with celebrations going on for a whole week. The procession through the streets attracted thousands of on-lookers. It was led by a town lady on horseback mimicking Queen Elizabeth l, while the town’s young lady chosen to represent the new queen travelled in an open car, a horseless carriage. Morris Dancers first, then townsfolk danced to traditional music in the town square and school children entertained in the park.
