Iain Sinclair: The Festival of Britain, 60 years on

The Festival of Britain is remembered as an uplifting moment for a nation recovering from war. Iain Sinclair, who visited it aged eight, reflects on the celebrations to mark its 60th anniversary, in our age of corporate sponsorship and Olympics mania.

    Wonderful piece by Sinclair - thanks for the link. I have a kind of fascination with the Festival of Britain myself and always feel like I'm stepping into the past a little when I visit the RFH.
