We had a big celebration at my school in 1951 for the Festival of Britian

that would fit very well.

It could be 1940s - this photo looks like a similar event:

I started school in 1954 in Nottingham, England. When I was at infant school for two years, I remember that we had a parade around the school on Empire day and that everyone got dressed up. Those who were in brownies/ cubs wore their uniforms and others wore anything but school uniform. We had a large union jack leading the way.
For the coronation, street parties were held on many of the streets.
