Coronation Procession
Is anyone here old enough to have seen the Coronation Procession of toy soldiers in Harrods window at that time? I just wondered what became of the thousands of soldiers fixed to the revolving belt. I was 8 at the time and completely transfixed by them. Anyone know of a link? I've tried various permutations on Google but no joy.

I am not quite old enough to have seen it and remembered! I was 2 in 1953 but was the display in Harrods window or in Gamages Department Store in Holborn?

On a similar note I have some old newspapers at school from 1936 which list the regimnents and bands in order for the royal processions. Quite fascinating.
