The Mall in London with the decorative arches still in place shortly after the Coronation of Elizabeth II on 2 June 1953. The Mall formed part of the ceremonial procession route to and from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey. There were plans to incorporate the arches in the new Palm House at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew but this did not happen - a vintage nineteen fifties photograph.
