1935 Jubilee Celebrations, Quorn – What a float!

This picture was taken at the time of the Silver Jubilee of George V, when Quorn celebrations included a parade with floats.

The impressive float/decorated car below was made by Peter Brookman and is standing outside their house, 47 Loughborough Road. His sister Doreen Brookman (known as Dorrie) is on the back.

The placard says “THREE CHEERS FOR LONG REINS”!

Dorrie (who married Bill Edwards), kindly supplied this photograph. Dorrie died in June 2025 aged an amazing 105.
