Peace Celebrations 1918

One of the series of postcards celebrating the 1918 Peace Celebrations, taken by George Skilbeck (possibly from the upper front room of his premises on Zetland Road). This is the head of the procession with the band leading a vast number of people. The clothing of all indicates more relief that the horror is over than a joyful occasion it commemorated.
