Fabulous, even down to the authentic rain!

Love it!

Great photo. Like the Archbishop's and Duke of Edinburgh's outfits.

The little boy at the front carrying the crown on a cushion was/is ? Fitzpatrick, the Archbishop of Canterbury - Billy Melling, Prince Charles was Bernard Hedley and Princess Anne was Joan Bretherton. The Duke of Edinburgh was Frank Chatterley and Queen Elizabeth is June McCoy (my older sister), in the retinue was Eileen Cawley, Eileen Beckett, Elsie or Eileen Bilsborough; the little boy behind the Queen was David Wood and his sister Marilyn was close by along with Keith Beckett. There were two people dressed in kilts, one was Marie Hedley and one was Jean Winstanley. June is going to track down the photo she has and try to remember more names, so watch this space.
