Have a happy day. Herb

A very lovely and patriotic sight, Amelia. I hope you are enjoying the coronation. Best wishes, Joe

In 1953 when Elizabeth II was crowned, we lived in St,Andrews, where there was only one house that had a TV aerial. It was a big 'X'. The house was at the top of Dempster terrace next to the Episcopalian Church, and that's what we looked at. What a change since then. My dad was working in Hampshire at the time, and we followed him down in 1954. I made a scrap book of the coronation, and had the tin of chocolate etc..

We looked at the aerial in wonderment, not the TV. ;-))

should be a great happening in Great Britain.

Today is the day, I will watch this on TV, for sure!

A great day for the succession of the great Elizabeth. A beautiful symbol, nicely presented.

The flags aren't too pompous, just the right size of festive decoration for your village! I assume you're in front of the telly...;-)

Yes of course, Gudrun. I was eleven when Elizabeth II was crowned, and there was only one TV set in our town in Scotland. needless to say it wasn't in our house.

My mum said she did watch some of it, I confess I couldn't be bothered;-)

Interest seems to be flagging ~~~

Got the pun - Ha ha ha. I wonder who else might get it. ;-)

A lovely photo Amelia.............the flags are perfect............any more decoration would be over the top I think. The light is lovely despite that threatening sky!

I watched the whole event on TV this afternoon. I was only one year old when the last coronation took place and. needless to say I can't remember a thing about it :-))

Enjoy this day !

God save the King

Hope you had a lovely day Amelia! It certainly was a huge spectacle. Enjoy your weekend.

nobody on street, they are glued to TV

There doesn't seem to be many decorations abou,t Ashby-de-la Zouch has a lot of flags. Some where I still have a little notebook 'What I did on coronation day' as you say seeing a television was a novelty

Bonito sentir de la bandera.
