The Coronation: Remembering the Queen’s Coronation through the eyes of a girl guide
- 11 months ago
The King’s Coronation will be another big moment for Judy Birdwood, who took part in the Queen’s Coronation in 1953.
Miss Birdwood was just 12 when she had the joy of being a girl guide, one of only 200 who were chosen to march down The Mall for the big day.
Judy hopes that she will be able to join the crowds for the King’s Coronation but due to her blind disability she may have to join those listening to it on the wireless, as many did in 1953.
