Photograph of Coronation celebration, 1937

This photograph, taken outside the school house at Hook marks the occasion of the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth which took place on 12th May 1937. Two wagons provide a stage which is decorated with bunting, banners and flags. Prominent members of the village are seated on the stage with the vicar, Revd. Willetts in the centre (hidden behind the daffodils) and Lord Bolingbroke to his left.

The central poster reads 'An Honourable Sunday Means an Exalted Empire' and shows an image of earth with a Union Jack.
