What are they celebrating?

How about 1911? The coronation of George V and May was actually June 22, 1911.

...and it takes a Canadian to point this out...ha!

Ah China - I'm not old enough to remember. But you're right.

I was not making any comment on other's ability to remember :-)

For history enthusiasts George V came to throne in 1910 but as China has pointed out the coronation was in 1911.

Did anyone notice the other man peeking through the flags on the left?  He appears to be wearing a suit...would they have dressed in suits for anything other than a wedding?

I think, Debbie, that the face is an optical illusion, and is in fact the scroll on the iron fence. If it's a face, it's jolly scary - Hallowe'en come early! 

I've never seen anything like the flower arrangement worn at the lady's waist. What is that?

Hi Meles,

No!!!  Not the wrought iron work...above that, you can see the lapels of the suit.  Unless the jet lag has got to my eyes, I'm sure there's a man there!!!

Debbie, I agree with you. A man in a suit wearing a flat cap.

As to your query about men wearing suits - my dad always wore a suit - even on the beach!!

O-o-o-h-h yes! Just a bit of torso! A very trim waist! Could it be a woman?
