Mr. Ley, Gift Shop owner in Trafalgar Square, comes out of the shop to show an African visitor a lovely cushion cover which bears the Royal Coat of Arms as a souvenir of Coronation Year.
Coronation Souvenirs For Overseas Visitors: Just as soon as the date of the Coronation was announced manufacturers started to make souvenirs and now Gift and Souve sir shops in London and other large cities are already doing a brisk trade, especially with overseas visitors, who, although they will not be in England for next year's Coronation, want to take souvenirs back home with them. At Ley and Ley, souvenir shop in Trafalgar Square, there is a constant stream of visitors mostly from the Commonwealth and from America, buying portraits of the Queen, models of the Coronation Coach and of the Crown of England, trays, broaches and other souvenirs in connection with the great occasion.
