You must be the same age as me Jenny, because I too remember the Queen's Coronation. I vividly remember a man pasting up a colour 'Coronation' poster directly onto the outside wall of our crumbling little three up two down pit-owned terraced house, and loved my coronation mug (long gone unfortunately).

Oh - and I remember the street party (one of many) which was held to celebrate the Coronation.
