Telecast From My Past

I recall the time – 1953, somewhere around the first of June. A special invitation by Granny to come in the late afternoon. My grandparents shared their television first of a few that were owned in that day. We drove ten miles for a grand occasion happening four thousand miles away. My inauguration to the big screen one of London's landmark events - the stately coronation of the Queen. For Elizabeth, time well-spent. She has ruled her land for sixty-six years making her reign, Victoria plus three "Long Live the Queen," long live her peers, Nostalgic remembrance, Long live TV.
