God Save the King.....

Well in towns all across the UK,  this is how people celebrated the coronation.   With road closures and street parties.   


It seemed historic to capture one.

Great shots DA.    Quite the grand event and no doubt enjoyed by many who support the royal family.

thanks Mr B,  I thought it needed to be memorialised as it may be a while before we do it all again.

Driving about on Sunday we noticed quite a few road closures for them.     My own road was closed a few times for these parties,   theres even a shot of my house from the VJ Day street party during ww2.

I doubt Mrs.B and I will see another - but you never know.

You never know indeed.     

One of those "document it while and if you can" occasions, nice that you took the chance when you had it. May your king live long and prosper.

Good to see such patriotism.  Sad about having to close roads but what else can you do when you need to room for large parties.

The road closures have all been minor residential areas so they dont cause any issues,   and street parties go back to at least WW1 historically here,  probably further.

Might have been but now I can't even remember what it was about.  Guess it was not too important.
