Re: The queens visit to accrington may 16th 2012

Town Hall looking good Atarah -look forward to seeing some photos of the parade and HM.

Security must be quite a nightmare for events like this -hope it all goes well. A lot of people will be looking forward to this -especially the school-children.

A little historical note of interest - my Gt Grandfather wrote in his journals that on July
9th, 1913 he was "playing" ie not working for the King's visit - he was also "playing" a year earlier, June 21st, 1912 for the Coronation! That would have been George Vth -I wonder if any photos exist of that visit -would be interesting for a comparison -almost 100 years ago.
