Description
A street of tenement housing has been festooned with flags and bunting to mark a royal visit. Bunting stretches across the road and hangs from windows. A cart and a bicycle are parked in front of a shop front which is covered in decorations. There are many children playing in the street. One girl carries a dog as she crosses the street and a young boy pushes a wheel down the road.
