Memories of the Coronation - Hallcroft

We didn’t have a TV – we went next door to watch the Queen’s Coronation.

We watched the Coronation in black and white on a 9”TV which was in a Mack Michael cabinet. I saw her going down the aisle.

My husband and I were living in the Solomon Islands at the time of the Coronation.  We organised a sports day for the residents and a ship came from Australia with soldiers and sailors to join in to celebrate the Coronation and remind us it was on.
