A fair has come to the park with a carousel, Peggy can't wait to go on, she hopes she gets the horse called Tom, the name of her sweetheart, it will bring her good luck she thinks.
Peggy and her neighbours are also putting on a street party, they have decorated their street in Union Jacks, brought out the gramophone, emptied their kitchens of tables and chairs and have made a large picnic.
Everyone is so jolly and excited today.
The Queen in celebration of her accession has lifted food rations for the day and every household is entitled to 1lb of sugar and 4oz of margarine, which allowed Peggy to make her famous victoria sponge cake and her Father make some beer.
