We went to my grandparents for the day because they had a television. We had taken our new kitten with us because he was too small to leave on his own. He managed to wriggle inside their sofa and we spent most of the day getting him out out again!

Only one family had a TV and all the neighbors piled in to watch the TV with a 12 inch screen and curtains closed so we could see. We were given a book by Richard Dimblbleby
entitle Elizabeth our Queen. I still have my copy.
Long tables were set up in the street and we had a tea party, sandwiches then jelly and ice cream.
She has done us proud.
