A parade held on 6 June 1977 to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. This took place in Sheen Lane, East Sheen in London’s SW14, England, UK. Here a group of Girl Guides march – they hold banners that pronounce that the Queen was a Girl Guide in her youth. Union Jack flags of all sizes are on show. The twenty fifth anniversary of the Queen’s coronation was on 6 February 1977 but 7 June was designated for a major official and unofficial celebration day across the country. This image is from an old amateur colour transparency – a vintage 1970s photograph.

The twenty fifth anniversary of the Queen’s coronation was on 6 February 1977 but 7 June was designated for a major official and unofficial celebration day across the country. Similar celebrations are planned for 2022 when it is the Queen's Platinum Jubilee (marking 70 years of service). This image is from an old amateur colour transparency. It will look soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1970s photograph.
