1953 Coronation - Rubbish in the stands after crowds had lef
Page from the Daily Sketch reporting on the eyesore and scandal of the uncleared rubbish left behind in the stands along the processional route following the 1953 Coronation. The report quotes a spokesman from the Ministry of Works who explained that the parks were given priority in the clearing up operation as people had no reason to go to the stands'. The Daily Sketch nevertheless is indignantly critical of the problem at a time when thousands of visitors were flocking to London to see the Coronation decorations for the first time
