In London, the Queen hosted a coronation luncheon, for which the recipe coronation chicken was devised,[60] and a fireworks show was mounted on Victoria Embankment.[27] Further, street parties were mounted around the United Kingdom. The Coronation Cup football tournament was held at Hampden Park, Glasgow in May, and[19] two weeks before the coronation, the children's literary magazine Collins Magazine rebranded itself as The Young Elizabethan.[61] News that Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay had reached the summit of Mount Everest arrived in Britain on Elizabeth's coronation day; the New Zealand, American, and British media dubbed it "a coronation gift for the new Queen".[62]
