Coronation Parade in Markfield 1953 Thornton

Teas with a Twist 3Ts

Wednesdays 26th April, 10th and 24th May 2pm to 4 pm

THIS PHOTO SHOWS a parade at Markfield which I think could be to celebrate the late Queen’s coronation in 1953. Each year my Dad, Horace Grimes organised a comic band to play. He was the licensee of the George Inn, now the Co op. He is the man playing the piano accordion wearing the white hat. Immediately in front of him is my sister Georgina. I am, unfortunately, the fairy at the front! Perhaps your readers may recognise faces from the past.
