Royal Celebrations in Henfield

A big thank you to all those who got in touch to share their pictorial memories of Jubilees gone-by as well as of the coronation itself. We are sharing many of them here and have endeavoured to credit them correctly.

We particularly like the images of Liz Blake (née Bransby) as Queen on a Carnival Float in 1953 and as she is today, as well as the delightful images of the Coronation Carnival which Maureen Fletcher shared with us which were taken by renowned Henfield Photographer Marjorie Baker.

We hope that however you choose to celebrate Her Majesty the Queens’ Platinum Jubilee you will create many happy memories for years to come!
