The procession for George VI’s coronation continues through the High Street in Handcross with a parade of decorated bicycles.

Select Open Document to view the parade on decorated vans passing by Robinson Brothers shop. The sign on the first van reads “Long Live the King”, and I think the same slogan has been written in flowers underneath. On top of the van are figures of children dancing around the Maypole.
