UPDATE: We have had a further couple of photos sent to us by Liz Harrison which she is pretty certain is the same Silver Jubilee Parade in 1977 (June?) photographed by Tom. And Liz is actually in the photograph – the Brownie with the bobble hat!

Thank you, Tom and Liz, for prompting this nostalgic trip down memory lane for those of us old enough to remember the Silver Jubilee.
Liz Harrison has sent us a couple more photos which she thinks are from the same parade – we’ve included both in the article. Thanks, Liz!
