Coronation - Lawndale

We all went to a neighbours to watch the coronation

I was on my father's shoulders and saw the coach, we went to London by bus because my dada was a conductor and could travel for free.

I was in the army based at Catterick in North Yorkshire and I was in the parade in London for the coronation, but I had to have the front seat on the bus because I was travel sick.

I went to a street party in Whitmore Reans in Wolverhampton - there was bunting and long tables with food

One lady's sister was the coronation Queen in Dawley, she had a crown and a cloak
