Princess Elizabeth paid her first visit to Coventry today
Princess Elizabeth paid her first visit to Coventry today and was greeted by huge crowds in glorious weather.
She arrived at Coventry railway station at 10.59 am and as she emerged from the station she was greeted by a fanfare from trumpeters and drummers of Coventry School of Music. She then entered her waiting car n a Humber open Landau, bearing the Royal Standard and sitting beside the Mayor, Mr. W. H. Malcolm, drove off along Eaton Road and Warwick Road en route for the Memorial Park.
The Princess came to Coventry to inaugurate the new city centre, the reconstructed Broadgate with its magnificent garden island, and to lay the foundation stone of the new shopping precinct, which in the years to come will be built on the Smithford Street side of the city centre.
She wore a calf-length lime green coat of soft woollen material shaped at the front to look like a novel two-piece with quarter-length sleeves and very full swinging skirt worn over a matching green and white print dress. Her white high-heeled shoes, had the new ankle fastening and her gloves were elbow length. The most striking feature about her attire was its complete simplicity which was matched by her almost complete absence of make-up. Her only jewellery was a three-row pearl necklace.
