Description: | This invitation invites Movita Costella to a children's coronation party at the United Free Church, Mill Hill at 3.30pm on 5 June 1953. The party was to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
Street parties have been a popular way for local communities to celebrate national and royal events for over 100 years. Such parties are usually the result of local initiative and organisation and aim to involve the whole neighbourhood.
The invitation was probably commercially produced and widely used by organisers of street parties who added specific details by hand. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | Leisure Identity and Icons | Temporal: | 1953 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
