Memories relived at Littlehampton coronation event
To mark the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s coronation in Westminster Abbey, in 1953, dozens of residents joined in a party at Claridge House, in Church Street.
Guests were entertained by a lively jazz trio, before taking a personal tour of the impressive show complex and enjoying a selection of light refreshments.

“It was a wonderful day and we were pleasantly surprised at the number of people in attendance, which goes to show that community celebrations are not weather dependent. Coming together to share a significant event with residents and visitors alike is something we are very proud to be involved with here at McCarthy & Stone.”
