Do you have any memories of June 1953, The Coronation?

The Coronation was just pre Mamya, so no memories of it for me.

I was very young in 1953 but I remember my grandmother getting a TV for the Coronation. It had a tiny screen and was in a wooden cabinet. At the last Jubilee, my granddaughter got tickets for the concert. She went with a friend and had a picnic meal, provided by the organisers, on the lawn of Buckingham Palace before the concert.
I was two for the coronation so don't remember it. There was a street party in our cul de sac for the silver jubilee but I was working away from home and missed it. There was a fete on the field near the nursery where I worked but we didn't see too much of it - too busy keeping the children in check!
Can just remember the Coronation and remember well that my paternal Grandmother gave me and my 3 younger siblings coronation mugs that she herself had helped to decorate. She worked in a potbank and did the Gold hand painting but the mugs were made by a number of firms with an approved design that was the same for all manufacturers. We are travelling to Shaldon Devon on the 4th of June and are thinking about getting on the road on Friday 3rd and getting a B&B somewhere near that has something going on.
Sounds fab Togo, I’ve just sent for the pack that Mamya kindly gave me the link for and I’ve set the ball rolling by putting the ‘invite’ on my residents page , we’re quite lucky inasmuch as we are on a pedestrian only street which a wide expanse of grass between our side and the other side, I still have a load of bunting left over from the VE Day celebrations I organised
