Right Royal Memories - win signed copies of Lesley Pearse's new book Without a Trace and other goodies

I was 10 when the Queens coronation took place. I remember coming home from primary school in Buffalo, New York and watching it on our black and white TV.

I remember Prince Charles and Diana's wedding's Wedding too. I was abroad on holiday at the time. Watched it all on the TV. Diana in her silk dress with the puffy sleeves and long train. Absolutely beautiful.

Princess Margaret came to a dedication service at our Church. I was in the Brownies who formed a guard of honour round the entrance to the Church. All I reported back to my Mum was that she wore a big fur coat and had so much make up on that you could stick your fingers in it! Oh, the naivety of an 8 year old.

I remember Princes Charles and Diana's wedding. I believe we all had a day off and all the family sat around the TV all day, just running into the kitchen to make a drink during adverts! For me it was the first memorable occasion I could remember and thoroughly enjoyed it. The only time I have seen a royal was when Prince Charles opened the National Garden Festival in Wales and we happened to be there that day.

I well remember the Queen's coronation. It was my sixth birthday and I was 'confined to barracks' as I had a bad case of German Measles! I also had to miss the long awaited street party but did get a plate of goodies sent to the house.
Dad had invested in our first television and we all sat in a darkened room huddled round an extremely small screen. We had flags and bunting outside the house and we even had red white and blue fairy lights. I still have my coronation mug that we were all presented with at school and a replica coronation coach which was a gift from the street party.

Queens Jubilee. Stunning setting, music, feel good factor & delicious picnic provided for all of us.

Back in the 80s, me and my wife attended Royal Ascot when the Queen walked by prompting my wife to follow, not realising that the Queen Mum was following close by! Nearly a major incident, but thankfully a collision was avoided!!

In the 80s I saw Princess Dianna in Canterbury and was cheeky enough to climb on a photograher's ladder to take her photo much to the annoyance of the returning photographer - made Dianna laugh though!

I can remember at the age of 5 , we were living at my grandmas house, all the windows in the street were decorated with union jack buntings, I can remember sitting on my grandmas gate waving a little union jack flag, later there was a street party with sandwiches, trifle and cakes. Later that day , I managed to poke the stick of the union jack flag up my nose.... I can remember the blood on my new red white and blue dress that my mum had made for me , how I cried, later that night we went to a neighbours house they had a TV.... we sat like statues imaging we were princesses . It was a very happy day.
