Five Days On, A Happy Find

Remember this collage of mugs celebrating monarchs' events? I didn't have one for our late queen. I do now!!!

City of Portsmouth didn't provide any souvenirs for the 1953 coronation, (probably too busy spending money on repairing WWII damage). However the City of Westminster did donate souvenirs ( and London's war damage was quite extensive!)

I found this commemorative coronation mug in an antique shop yesterday at the same cost ours are advertised on e-bay!

I think that we have some coronation memorabilia stashed away somewhere.
We are partnered in the get pushed challenge this week. It's been a long time since we were paired. So, after a short debate, my challenge to you is to have a go at high contrast black and white. Does that grab you?
