I remember those programmes - his wife was photographed more than the animals

Ya Margaret, she was a very photogenic young lady, mind you I was only very young at the time and didn't really take notice of girls in those days:rolleyes:

The first TV I ever watched was the Queens Coronation. My uncle had built a television using a bomber radar screen which was about 9 inches across, in a huge box. The whole picture was in bright shades of green which we didn't find strange at the time. There were about 15 of us crowded round this tiny screen.
It was several years before my folks got a proper TV.

Think I was the same Gordon, can remember going to the local grocers, on Union Road with my Mum Dad and Grandma to watch the Queens coronation, then off to a street party, well it should have been, but it ended up in the Foxhill Grove church hall (which is now a car park) because of the weather

Must have been one hell of a storm to turn a church hall into a car park.:D
