Newquay Avenue: 2023 Coronation decorations

I lived on Newquay Avenue as a child and remember the flags and bunting flying from almost every house on Coronation Day in 1953. Seventy years on times have changed and I saw almost no outward signs of enthusiasm for the event in Nottingham in the days before it. This time the house behind the white car was the only one on Newquay Avenue with flags and pictures of the King.
