I can't remember it either, as we didn't have a TV then, but I do remember the street party and the coronation mugs we were given in school. The street party was great fun with everybody in their Sunday best. There were egg & spoon races and sack races for both children and adults. Esther and Bob Rochester, from the corner shop, rode around on an adult-sized three wheeled bike dishing out a 2oz sweets to every child. They were dressed for the occasion in red white and blue and so was the bike. There were tongue sandwiches - which I loved, until I found out what it was - strawberry jelly and blancmange and Tizer. What a day!
