London Rejoices On Coronation Night -- Colossal crowds thronging the magnificently floodlit Mall tonight, which is still a surging mass of happy people form end to end. To terminate the magnificent day of pageantry and splendour London is rejoicing after the Coronation of the Queen, Streets and buildings are floodlit, balls are taking place, wonderful firework displays are being enjoyed and everyone is celebrating in their own particular way.
