CORONATION DECORATIONS
The street decorations in London for the Coronation are to-be oh a -much bigger scale than anything which has vet been done in this direction (says the London diarist of the ‘ Evening Standard ’). At the Jubilee, there was disastrous lack of co-ordination between the Westminster City Council and the Office of Works. This is now .to be remedied; by the council’s appointment of a prominent architect, Mf<G. Grey Wornum, to act as liaison with the Government department. Mr Wornum told me. some of his plans. He proposes to erect huge pylons, floodlit by night, down - the centre of the streets. These should_be far more effective than the tawdry “ barber’s poles,” hung about with scrappy little flags, which lined ■; the Jubilee route. This time the flags oa the buildings will-be; sis; long as 18ft.
