Coronation Festivities at Accrington 1902

/ procession of clown cyclists, marching bands, Morris dancers and decorated floats pass by, country was gripped with coronation fever when Edward VII came to the throne after the epic 63-year reign of his mother, Queen Victoria. Much of this pageant celebrates pride in local trade and industry - from iron manufacture and mining to chimney sweeping and confectionery - with the occasional irreverent twist. Pride in the British Empire is another feature, with many in colonial military uniform and even a group of cyclists dressed as African tribesmen.
