Today I took out of the cupboard my "coronation mug" dated 2nd June 1953. i can just remember lining up at the war memorial and being given the mug by the chairman of the parish council. it is in mint condition perhaps helped by the fact that I was an only child and had a Dad who was very particular about looking after these sort of things.

like Hunt I spent the night before Coronation with a group of friends from uni.-on the pavement in Hyde Park in my sleeping bag - Not much sleep and very cold and wet.From dawn cheered everthing-street sweepers,news sellers,policemen.
Queen of Tonga only one to keep her carriage open got a special cheer.
