Q is for 'The QUEEN Visits Coventry'

The Caption Reads:
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN AND THE DUKE OF
EDINBURGH on their Silver Jubilee visit to Coventry
in 1977.

This photograph was on display at the Coventry Transport Museum in April this year as part of  The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Celebration exhibition.

I was living in Coventry in 1977.  I saw The Queen not many minutes after this photograph was taken and I can remember that day as if it were yesterday.  What a moment.

(Photograph of The Queen was taken in Broadgate, Coventry.)

Souvenir of the Coronation of......

Queen Elizabeth II.

And, the whole coronation ceremony was on TV on 2nd June, 1953.  I was in Pasadena watching as a little girl and this tin was the source of a load of sweets for those here in Coventry.  Amazing!  I am told that the rationing of sweets had ended earlier that year.
