About this memory

Street Party in Sighthill Rise held in 1953 to celebrate the Coronation.
The Wooden houses are in the background.

All Edinburgh Schools including Murrayburn and Wester Hailes were lined up along Princes Street to cheer the Royal couple.

Thanks to Norma Baigrie and other for photo and details.
