I read the following snippet about the place I live earlier:

In 1902 there was a riot in Watford Town. Watford’s Town Council had planned lots of free celebrations to mark the coronation of King Edward VII that Summer. For the poor people living in the slums of Watford this provided hope and they were looking forward to it. Children were promised a shilling, there would be a band and sports day at Cassiobury Park and a big bonfire and a party was planned for the evening. However, a few days before the coronation the King became very ill with appendicitis. The town council decided to cancel the free entertainments in case the King actually died. The deprived people of Watford were bitterly disappointed and became very angry. The newspapers at the time reported that the ‘rougher element’ of Watford’s population went on a rampage. Many shops were vandalised and looted, goods were taken, buildings were set alight and there was lots of fighting in the streets resulting in, ‘pools of blood’.

Gonna start a riot if this coronation doesn't go ahead 😉.
