Like all towns and cities throughout Britain, Loftus residents gathered in Loftus Market Place to celebrate the Coronation of King George V on 22nd June,1911. Edward VII had only reigned for only eight years following the death of his mother, Queen Victoria; George V was to reign until 1936 and was the father of George VI and grandfather of our present Queen Elizabeth II. Imagine trying to hold a similar celebration today in the Market Place?
