Guides from the 5th Keighley (Temple Street) company are captured on film during a Coronation Rally in 1953.

The photo has been loaned to us by Mary Smith (nee Spencer), who is pictured standing fourth from the left.

Mrs Smith is keen to hear from fellow company members who attended the event, which she believes was held at Myrtle Park in Bingley. She moved away from Keighley with her family in about 1954, and now lives in Salisbury, and has lost contact with most of the girls.

"I am in touch with one of them - Margaret Cowton - and I know that another, Janet Chadwick, sadly has died, but I have had no contact with or news of the others since I left Keighley," said Mrs Smith. "It would be nice to enjoy some nostalgic memories with them, of some great times."

The Guides pictured are, from left, standing, Margaret Cowton, Pat Binns, Pamela Mooring, Mary Smith (nee Spencer), Gladys Kingham, Jean Brown (Captain); kneeling, Janet Ashton, unknown, Janet Chadwick, and front, Judith Myers, Margaret Binns, Jeanne Foster, unknown, Marjorie Punt and Gloria Dufton.

Also, Mrs Smith was among a group of Guides from the division who travelled to London to watch the Coronation. She was selected after a girl who was scheduled to go got appendicitis.

"It was of course unfortunate for Sheila - who was due to go - but I was lucky enough to be chosen to take her place," said Mrs Smith.

"We were opposite Buckingham Palace and got a grandstand view of all the celebrations. It was a fantastic day."
