Re: Queen to visit Accrington in May.
Took the following photo recently in Dacre village in the Lakes -it's a commemorative Coronation bench.

Just a thought, if she wasn't crowned officially until June 1953, is it really her Diamond jubilee this year or should it be held next year?

After a feat of copying and pasting all this just to say I had the same thought a while back -seems a bit muddled somehow - but the coronation bench is a lovely idea(and it has lasted!) -perhaps they could have a series of Diamond Jubilee ones made to put around Accrington -starting outside the Market Hall..
