Re: Do you remember the Coronation 1953?

Not allowed to go to the party at the school. I had measles so spent the day in bed, but I think mum took my younger sister and collected my coronation mug.

You could well be right. Wiki says 1953, though.

That was the year that I started work in Fleet st in a photo news agency. We were of course very busy rushing around to the papers delivering the photos.

Re: Do you remember the Coronation 1953?

Thank you all for the replies. Good to know others are my age or older & do remember the Coronation. Wonder if any here will get to see the next one. I think our Queen will hang on for ever though.
