Eagle Brow, Coronation George V

Image taken on Eagle Brow with the G R surely referring to the Coronation of George V - so why 'God Bless our Queen'?.

However, in 1911, the country was crowning a new queen too.  Mary, wife of George V was titled Queen of the United Kingdom and British Dominions. Perhaps the organisers of the festivities still had the sign from Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee -  just as the village kept a supply of triumphal arches for such occasions.
