ALDERSHOT TATTOO
CORONATION YEAR DISPLAY
i ' ■ ■ ': . ( (From "The Post's" Representative.)
LONDON, May 5,
Rushmoor Arena has seating accommodation for 80,000 people, and will probably be crowded to capacity on each of the eight nights of the Aldershot Coronation Tattoo, which starts on Thursday, June 10, and ends on Saturday, June 19. Bookings are already £10,000 up on the corresponding period last year, and every seat for first and last Saturdays has been taken.
The Tattoo will open with a pageant .of the banners of the Dominions, colonies, and States of the Empire assembled in salute to the National Flag, and will end with a Royal pageant introducing the banners and Royal bodyguards of the kings and queens of England since the days of the Conqueror. ■'■.';■
. There will be two battle pieces, one showing the mechanised army of today in action, and the other the passage of the Douro during the Peninsular War. A new idea in the ever-popular physical training display is the introduction of mounted gymnastics by units from the Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards, the Lancers, and the Royal Scots Greys. _ ■■ .
