I like this photo. “Coronation Party Blantyre” written on the reverse. Incredibly that means i can date this precisely as 2nd June 1953. Photographed are kids celebrating the coronation of the Queen that day. This photo means a lot to our family as the little girl in the middle right with ribbons in her hair is my mother, Janet Duncan who would have been about 6 at the time. Maybe one of the other kids is related to you?! These kids would have been born around 1945 – 1948 or so.
Anybody know the location? Maybe one of the parks in Blantyre?

Moyra Lindsay Front right looks like Iain Proudfoot and next to him Walter ?. Must be High Blantyre as they lived near the park?.
