I'm not sure how good or bad the TV situation is for you folks but, this programme has been fascinating. Hope you can get it by fair means or foul!!!!!

Just watched this. Not as much from the Queen as inhad hoped but very interesting from the perspective of someone who was 6 years old. I do remember the street party. An aunty had a television but you had to go to the cinema to see it in colour. I do wonder what will happen when she has gone.

Yes, we watched it last night. I'm not particularly a great fan of the Windsors (nor am I against them) but you are right, a fascinating documentary. I think we got it by fair means, but who knows what is fair and what is foul, these days?

I remember 2 coronations. The first one was a general holiday but, of course, no TV, just b/w photos in the papers the following day. I was given at school a mug with both the royals' portraits and a long, flat, purple tin of chocolate (wish I had them both now, worth a fortune!). The second one, I was lucky as I was on demob leave at the Golden Sands, so no parade or other bs.

The last jubilee street parties they had were an experience.
