6 May (Part 1) - God Save the King!
There doesn’t seem to be as much excitement about the Coronation as there was in 1953
when our parents, or at least our mothers, were talking of little else for weeks beforehand. Adults can of course do what they like today but I do hope
that children are encouraged to watch, they need to have their memories to look back upon.
Mine is of the fancy dress parade, Punch & Judy Show and a lot of people crowded around a 12 inch TV screen.
There is some absolutely shocking cultural misappropriation here.
