I was 6 years and 6 days old. Living in Plymouth, going to Camelshead Primary School. Miss Smith was my teacher - evil woman. Best friend was Nigel next door. I was an only child at the time, but my mother was just expecting my sister.

We lived with my maternal grandparents - housing short due to Plymouth being targeted during the war.

I was in my mummy’s tummy!! I wasn’t born until early 1954.

Yes, yes, we get it.
Some of you (including me) weren’t born, so have no memory of the event

I was still a twinkle in my father’s eye. I was however present for the actual coronation. Apparently my mother tied a red, white and blue ribbon around a clump of my sparse five month old hair.

That was quite some pregnancy. She became Queen when her father died on 6 Feb 1952. I think you’re getting confused with the coronation.

*German shepherds mum* oops, senior moment! So I guess I was a mere twinkle in my father’s eye then.
