Description

This weekend sees the coronation of King Charles III but for some people, this will be the second British monarch they have seen crowned during their lifetime. On the Sky News Daily, Sally Lockwood speaks to two of those who were in the crowds in central London for Queen Elizabeth II’s big day in 1953. She also looks at how Britain has changed over those 70 years. Julie Windsor, 82, recalls taking photos of the royal procession on her new camera as a schoolgirl, while Brian Kesteven, 87, shares his reflections on the occasion itself and his memorable journey from Bath to be there. Plus, historian Dr Tessa Dunlop compares coronations, country and Commonwealth as we look at life in Britain from post-war to post-pandemic. Annie Joyce – senior podcast producer Alex Edden – interviews producer Nelly Stefanova – archive audio researcher Philly Beaumont - editor
