Denby Dale, West Yorkshire, England, UK: children in fancy dress and party costume walk in procession on 6 May 1935, the national Silver Jubilee Day of King George V, down a long straight street strung with flags and bunting. One boy wears a “Red Indian” (Native American) feathered headdress as he rides a donkey and other youngsters wear various costumes including a sailor suit and a dress covered in large hearts. George V (1865-1936), King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, reigned from 6 May 1910 until his death on 20 January 1936, just over eight months after the Jubilee. He was succeeded by his son, Edward VIII (abdicated 1936) and then by Edward’s brother, George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022). The festivities throughout the United Kingdom on Monday 6 May 1935 were the first ever Silver Jubilee celebrations of any British monarch. The national holiday began with a carriage procession and thanksgiving service in London and celebrations in individual towns and cities included garden parties, pageants and sports events. Denby Dale is a large village and civil parish in the metropolitan borough of Kirklees. It lies 10 miles south-east of Huddersfield and nine miles north-west of Barnsley. This monochrome photograph was taken by a Yorkshire married couple, George and Kathleen Blenkhorn, and probably shows Wakefield Road, the A636 main route through the village. The image has been scanned direct from an original print in a Blenkhorn family album. D1352.B8018
