Royal Jubilee
Does anyone have memories of attending street parties in the 1930s e.g. George V’s Jubilee in 1935?
I’m a freelance journalist who writes for the nationals. I’m looking for people with memories of 1930s street parties held in Britain.
It’s for a feature I’m writing, to coincide with the Royal Wedding in April, that looks at street parties – the effect they have on communities, and their history.
If you can recall attending a street party in 1935 (George V’s Jubilee) or 1937 (George VI’s coronation), please get in touch as soon as possible!

Memoir ’44: Disaster at Dieppe $16.8 A raid on the German-occupied coastal town of Dieppe Operation Jubilee was intended to demonstrate the Allies capacity to seize and hold a major port for a short while. The Canadians sent in just couldn’t imagine how short their stay would be… The landing beach was a mile long with headlands at both ends and barbed wire across its entire length. At first enemy fire was light letting the landing troops – Essex Scottish Regiment on Red Beach and the Hamilton Light Infantry on White Beach – make it through a first row of wire and toward the sea wall with only minor losses. But tanks from the 14th Canadian Tank Battalion had not arrived ahead of the infantry landings as planned; and once landed they could not get any traction on the loose beach pebbles. To make things worse the men of the Royal Regiment landing on Blue Beach near Puys arrived late. They were pinned on the beach unable to move west and take the eastern headlands before the main assault. The Germans now on full alert swept the exposed Canadian forces. Control of the Casino and surrounding pillboxes seasawed back and forth but to no avail. Four hours after landing the Allied commanders were forced to call a retreat leaving almost 60 of the men who’d landed killed wounded or captured! The lessons learned from this debacle were painful but were of considerable help in preparations for the landings in Normandy two years later. |

Prince of the Blood $7.99 This Author’s Preferred Edition of Raymond E. Feist’s bestselling coming-of-age saga celebrates the fifteenth anniversary of its publication. Feist introduces a new generation of readers to his riveting novel of adventure and intrigue, revised and updated as he always meant it to be written. It is a work that explores strength and weakness, hope and fear, and what it means to be a man–in a kingdom where peace is the most precious commodity of all. If there were two more impetuous and carefree men in the Kingdom of the Isles, they had yet to be found. Twins Borric and Erland wore that mantle proudly, much to the chagrin of their father, Prince Arutha of Krondor. But their blissful youth has come to an end. Their uncle, the King, has produced no male children. Bypassing himself, Arutha names Borric, the eldest twin by seconds, the Royal Heir. As his brother, Erland will have his own great responsibilities to shoulder. To drive home their future roles, Arutha sends them as ambassadors to Kesh, the most feared nation in the world. Borric and Erland will be presented to the Queen of Kesh–the single most powerful ruler in the known world–at her Seventy-fifth Jubilee Anniversary. But they have not even left Krondor when an assassination attempt on Borric is thwarted. Aware that he is being provoked into war, Arutha does not rise to the bait. His sons’ journey will not be deterred, for nothing less than peace is riding on it. Yet there is to be no peace for the young princes. When their traveling party is ambushed, Borric disappears and is presumed dead–sending Erland into spirals of rage and grief as he is forced to navigate alone the court intrigues at Kesh. But unbeknownst toanyone, Borric lives and has escaped his captors. In a strange land, with a price on his head, Borric must use all his wits and stamina to find his way back to his brother. On separate paths, the two men–one a fugitive and one a future king–make their journey toward maturity, honor, |
