I was in the Royal Guard. We’d been practising for at least 3 months. Only 8 guards were sent for the practise spaced out with string. We had brand new uniforms for the day. It was a long day; we marched directly behind the Queens’s coach in the parade. I enjoyed going to the pub that night!
Everybody had a street party.
We had a street party in the church and I had a special dress.
We were given a dark blue glass with an insignia on it, and we had to march past the flag and salute with school.
There were thousands souvenirs – a special tins with toffees I remember having.
We watched on next doors TV – the only one in 20 houses.
