Description: This film of festivities surrounding the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 concentrates on a procession through Ruislip. A marching band of navy cadets are followed by a British Road Services truck bedecked in flags, some uniformed soldiers in personnel vehicles, a van of the Civil defence Corps (Middlesex Division - Rescue Section) and a series of floats. Many of the floats are put on by organisations including Ruislip Manor F.C. Supporters Club, the Junior Red Cross, the Sea Cadets, the Eastcote Community Association, the National Council of Women of Great Britain (Ruislip Branch), the Central Northwood Cricket Club, Eastcote Horticultural Society, the RAF and Northwood & Pinner Chamber of Trade. Others contain amateur boxers, the elderly waving and floral displays. Many of the floats feature adults or children in costume enacting royal or religious scenes from the past. The procession moves past the war memorial, Lyttons stores, and Barbara's Pantry. All along the way, local people line the streets to watch them go by and the streets themselves are bedecked with bunting.
