We didn't have television in East Africa back in '53, so my Gramps ordered a copy of the Pathé newsreel of the event. He and my mum and grandma set up a screen in the drawing room a fortnight after the event, and it seemed to three-year old me that everyone in the village crammed in to watch it. In fact, we did a second showing for my pals and for other village kids the next day, out in the big barn. It was my first experience of both seeing a movie, and trying champagne. It was a happy precursor to enjoying both experiences many more times in the decades which followed. 😵‍💫🥳🍿

T.A.K. Palfrey. I was in Kenya from 1957 to 1960 and there was no television then. I was at school in 1952 in England when Elizabeth became Queen. Little did I expect that I would be there a short time afterwards. It was a beautiful country. I went back in 1998 and was very shocked at the deterioration of the country and so few animals compared to 1960. Very sad.

I have been following you for a while and have to tell you how impressed I am with your sense of decency, politeness and moral grounding. Refreshing in our current world. The Coronation was 1953 just seven years from the end of the war. Rationing was still in place on many products and foods. Television was rare and those that could afford one did so for this great occasion. Such a time was it that neighbours invited those without TV into their homes to watch. One of my earliest memories was of that time and people turning up with food and drink they had. I remember also my father, mother and many others given to an outward showing of emotion. Another rare sight then. Many of these people were broken both physically and mentally, one in particular was a very thin, pale and frail man of thirty seven years, a Japanese prisoner of war. His screams could sometimes be heard in the street. He eventually died in 1959 if memory serves. The Coronation helped heal and brought us together but, I hated Hitler for some time after for causing the rationing of sugar. At three years old, I had no idea it may have been the only good thing that effected me. I made up for it in subsequent years. Enough. Thank you for these shards of light from one young in years yet old in wisdom.

The big difference back then was that television was in its infancy and most British people didn’t have a TV set. Additionally, there was only one channel, the BBC. Many people bought TV sets just to see the Coronation. My mother tells me that she and many of her family, about twenty of them, gathered in her Uncle’s small living room to watch it on a small black and white set. Most other people only saw the event through newsreels shown at the cinema. The Coronation of King Charles will be the first to be beamed live across the world.

My late Father told me how he and some of the other kids from their neighbourhood watched the Coronation through a neighbours window as they were the only house in the street who had a TV. He would have been 8 at the time.

I was 6 and Charles was 4 - I was nearly 2 when he was born. We watched this live at my aunts house - about 15 of us in a room 15ft by 16ft on a TV with a screen 12 inches wide. Afterwards we went home and joined everyone in the street, literally out on the street -for a party - about 100 of us! A few days later about 18 of us, as a family party, went to a local cinema to watch this film. Her Majesty was snall - about 5ft 2in tall, with a tiny waist, in spite of having 2 children. The crown weighs about 4lbs, the robe, carried by the ladies weighs about 50lbs. Oh and the state coach IS covered in 24 carat gold leaf. Then, as now, people waited overnight to be sure to be there. Less tham 1/3rd of households had a TV but more than half of us got to see it live. I am nearly 76 and am going to miss Her Majesty, and worry about King Charles because of his age. The Royal family are all part of our family and we have rejoiced and grieved with them over the years. Please look on KZbin for 'The Hidden Queen' and join the Royal Family's channel - you will learn a lot, Much of which will surprise you! Thank you for your interest in our history, culture and country. I live in the City of Doncaster, about 20 minutes by train from our county city of York, not far from the village which was the home from which some of the Pilgrim Fathers left.

That was very special to watch again, and particularly moving of course to see it at this particlar moment in time; putting the Queen's life commitment into full context, it really 'hits' you. Just the fact that we can see film footage of this ceremony from 1953 is, as you say, mind-boggling - and this colourised version really does present us with living history. I love that you are absorbing or 'experiencing' all this historical background, and learning this aspect of what makes us British, so soon after your visit; it really is making you into an honorary Brit... 💜

It certainly makes you appreciate the majesty of History. We have tons of it. And to hear the commentator say "long may she reign" at the end, little did he know. It's important to remember too, that this all occurred not too long after the end of the war, and years of struggles with food rationing, which is why the ceremony was delayed over a year. People were ready to celebrate. We won't have too long too wait for Charles' Coronation, and I imagine it will be a lot smaller, but still majestic

My mum remembers this very rainy day on a tiny television with all the neighbours in a small sitting room, food laid out for people to help themselves, and when the King died she remembered everyone wearing black armbands which they don't do now. On the death if the Queen, It's surprising to me how moving this all is. My own dad died in April and mum and I are having feelings stirred up. I guess I will miss her. Funny isn't it. A constant presence throughout my life. I just wanted to say thanks to you for your sensitive observations, and the compassionate way you have stepped up to address a moment in history for our country, with respectful interest and kindness to your followers.

The real function and justification of our contimuing monarchy was the one addressed here almost in passing in the oath sworn by each successive incumbent at their coonation. You may recall the question put to the new Queen... "Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the peoples of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand... (etc, etc) ...according to their respective laws and customs?" It's made plainer still in the final verse of the UK National Anthem, which being British, hardly any of us ever remember (but which I've looked up for this comment)... Thy choicest gifts in store On her/him be pleased to pour, Long may s/he reign. May s/he defend our laws, And ever give us cause, To sing with heart and voice, God save the Queen/King He is to defend 'OUR laws' ... our legitimate rights and prerogatives as free individuals AND collectively as a free people. ...it's why it's the nub of what Charles III will swear at his crowning. As will his successors thereafter. Because ultimately this IS their job and is what consitutional monarchy is all about. What the Head of State is there for. -Apolitical wrt every normal question of governance IAW law and constitution, -Yet with powers of last resort to prevent their illegitimate and unconstitutional usurpation.

As a staunch monarchist, I was dreading the prospect of the Queen’s death, and I was expecting to be very distraught when it happened. But when I heard the news, I sobbed for a few minutes and then sang the national anthem “God Save The King”. Otherwise I have accepted it much more easily than I had expected. If anything, I am grateful for the fact that Her Majesty lived for so long, and remained in such good health until very shortly before the end.

I was too young to remember the actual Coronation but what I do remember is the street party we had it was wonderful, all the children wore crowns and had lots of food (which was unbelievable! as this was postwar Britain and food was still quite scarce). It was a great day. We still have street parties in fact we had one for the Jubilee this year. I love your videos Joel, it just shows how you appeal to all age groups.

Just to say, and it is not in any way to be condescending or the like: but there are a lot of Americans who do not understand the UK constitutional monarchy as it exists today. Many still seem to compare to how things were back at the time of the American Revolution (!) The monarch in the UK has no political powers. In fact, the monarch is not even allowed to express a political opinion at all. The monarch is a politically neutral head of state, there to serve and do duty for all - no matter what their political views might be. The monarch will act as a diplomat and ambassador, as a host, as a person to represent the best of the country to others from other nations, to represent and champion good causes, charities, and to generally be there as a "feel good figurehead". It also creates a neutral boundary between the judiciary, the military and politics, because, symbolically, the military defend for the crown, and the judiciary judge for the crown, not for politicians or political parties. The Queen (and now the King) cannot issue vetoes, executive orders, like a president can, and you don't get the risks of a biased/ divisive head of state not necessarily representing one side or the other (which Trump or Biden arguably demonstrate!) Just some information there

I hosted a Platinum Jubilee party this summer. Due to the unpredictable weather🤷‍♀️ on the Sunday, all the neighbours in the Close where I live (15 houses) spent the morning building a tented village in my garden. It was great fun. Lots of food, bubbles and flags. Chatting to one of the elderly neighbours it turned out he saw the Queen on her Coronation travelling by in her golden carriage. The mood around here is very quiet, subdued. When I saw the photo of the Queen meeting the new prime minister I was shocked how her fragility had increased. When the RF started to make their way to Balmoral I expected the worse. I wept at the announcement of her passing and myself and other friends and family are frequently moved to tears watching the proceedings. Watching the crowds, hearing personal story’s, the beautiful services, the military uniforms and even a row of farmers and their tractors in a roadside field gathered to watch her casket pass by has all been very moving. Scotland did a most wonderful job of taking care of HMTQ at the start of her final journey. God bless The Queen and Long Live The King!

I watched this on a tiny TV on the actual day, then went with our entire school (we were given red, white and blue ties and a coronation mug!) to watch it in colour at the cinema when the film came out. My partner attended the lying in state of the Queen's father at Westminster Hall the previous year. The queue stretched for miles and it was a bitterly cold February day. He waited for hours but has never forgotten it.

Thank you for posting this Joel, even though I am British I think it's the first time I have seen that film in it's entirety. Yes, grand occasion indeed, but what it really did for me was underline just how much of her life she gave to her people. The age of the film itself made it feel like it was from a different time, a different era. A time before most of us were even born, or a time when even a great deal of our parents, or even grand parents had not been born. I myself am a grandfather, and the Queen's coronation took place 12 years before I was born. So seeing this film put a smile on my face - knowing she had so many decades ahead of her. The saddest part for me was when the carriage drove through the gates of Buckingham Palace, where just yesterday evening we watched her hearse travel through those same gates.

Joel, thank you for showing that. I haven't seen that in 70 years, when it was screened in the cinema when I was 6 years old. There was also a version shown live on television, but as TV sets were very few and far between in 1952 (even though The BBC had been showing television programmes since 1936), most people saw the event on the big screen in the cinema. Once again than you for screening it and my very best wishes go out to you and your family.

Hi Joel, the Coronation in 1953 I was 7 years old (76 today), I cannot remember all of the Coronation but I do remember the placing of the Crown on Elizabeth's head. We had a tiny 9 inch screen Black and White television to watch it on. The pageantry goes back a long time, we have had Monarchs for over 1200 years and I trust you will not miss the crowning of Charles III. One very important thing to remember is, unlike other Countries, that the monarch is the Commander-in-Chief of all three armed services. It is a very valuable buffer to have between the Government and all three services.

Thanks for reacting to this. It was the perfect way to remember our Queen. It brought several tears to my eyes. Mind you, I can't switch the TV on at the moment without crying. Every step of this process, from her funeral cortege through Scotland to Edinburgh, the lying in rest at St Giles, Edinburgh, to her arrival by plane in London and the procession to Westminster hall for her lying in state. Every single part of it has made me cry buckets. I just can't seem to stop. I'll be crying buckets on Monday whilst watching the funeral too. But after grief, joy comes in the morning... in just about a year's time (date not set yet) we will have the opportunity to watch another coronation like this one as King Charles III takes his oath. I'm looking forward to seeing that.

The Monarchy is a personification of This Nation, it's People and it's History which is thousands of years old. It represents a deep archetypal symbol of unity and governance, that lives deep in the collective unconscious of the British. My grandparents and many of our ancestors did not give their lives in past wars for an individual person but for all of the above. The Symbols of the Monarch are everywhere in our culture. Britons are not feeling the loss of Elizabeth the person but Elizabeth The Queen, The Embodied Personification of Our Country, its People, it's past and now its future. That role now passes to King Charles. God Save The King.

This is a highly edited version of the Queen's Coronation which although great as it is, I was disappointed that they omitted that epic and breathtaking piece of music called 'Zadoc the Priest' as the Queen made her way towards the exit of Westminster Abbey. I'm really hoping that we hear it again at the Coronation of King Charles III which will probably be held sometime next year (more than likely during the summer months).

Joel thank you for your condolences and the respect you have shown. I was 6 when the Queen was crowned and remember watching on tv it was a small screen black and white and a bit grainy but it was wonderful, we had never seen televsion before, we were the only ones who had a tv where I lived and so our living room was full of friends and neighbours with the children sitting crossed legged on the floor watching the Coronation. viewing the day again made me reflect on what a wonderful monarch and woman she was. Also when they were on the balcony the little boy stood next to the Queen was Prince Charles now King Charles 111, we will be able to move forward after the state funeral of her majesty on Monday 19th and our new king has had time to grieve as he takes up the reigns from his much loved mother.

You probably don't read these comments.... but please keep covering all the events leading up to the funeral. Earlier this week the procession of the Queen's coffin through the streets of Edinburgh with King Charles 111 and all 4 of Queen's walking behind was a truly moving moment with the crowds lining the streets to pay their final respects to the Queen, followed by a Service of Celebration for the life of the Queen. Streets you probably walked down with your friend on your recent visit to the UK. If you haven't watched it please check it out on KZbin.

I saw this on my aunts' TV (black and white nine-inch screen) - they had to have electricity installed in their house for the purpose. We had three days off school, and my mother put my heavy pleated hair in red, white and blue ribbons. It seemed to be raining (2 June) everywhere. Everyone's outstanding memory was of Queen Salote of Tonga (a British colony) who insisted on driving in an open carriage in the rain so that she could wave to the crowds (not seen in this abridged version). Her obvious enthusiasm and love were infectious, even to people watching on nine-inch TVs, and everyone loved her. Btw, St Edward's crown, placed on the Queen's head by the Archbishop of Canterbury, belonged to Edward the Confessor (q v), and the Queen said it was very heavy. She only wore it for a short time and the crown she wore for the rest of the day, and subsequently on ceremonial occasions, was much lighter.

5:39 “Vivat Regina” (Long Live The Queen). A common anecdote from people of that generation is that one person bought a TV set specifically so that they could watch the Coronation, and then the whole street crowded into their living room to watch. The date of 2nd June was chosen as the date because it was statistically a date likely to be dry and sunny. There was heavy rain on the day. One big memory of the procession afterwards was a big smile on the face of Queen Salote of Tonga, in an open carriage, waving and smiling to the crowd in the pouring rain.

A number of the schoolchildren would be around and would be in their eighties and nineties around this time. She was crowned nine years before I was born and I'm sixty. It certainly gives one a perspective on life to see, as the narrator succinctly put it, the "motley crowds" and mentally erase to leave those that are still living. The throng would practically disappear from the picture and the cheers to a few staggling onlookers. Further back, to the early days of film and you are indeed looking at ghosts. The actor, Tom Baker, once said in an interview that, very soon, "the living will be mostly entertained by the dead". When viewing this old footage, he is mostly very probably right.

Saw the Coronation Coach in 2002 when I said to my sister as it's her birthday the following day fancy going down to London. Was going to stand in The Mall but said about lets see how far we can get to Buckingham Palace. We could if we were searched and ended up right in front of the Orchestra. It is almost impossible to put into words. Whilst we were waiting for Her Majesty, I think she was at Lambeth at the time the rest of the royal family started a mexican wave going all round then up the Mall. The Coach, and everything else that day, including the people we met that day from all walks of life, ages, and around the World was mind blowing. When the Queen came out on to the Balcony was in a sea of cheering people, flags everywhere. Then Concorde with the Red Arrows right over our heads watching Concorde doing a power climb. 20 years ago and still totally unforgettable.

My mum was there on the day. She travelled with her parents from Ashbourne in Derbyshire to London. She sat on her fathers shoulders as the Queen passed by in a golden coach. She said the Queen was beautiful, with a peaches and cream complexion. . Her father had bought a TV so they could watch it at home but he surprised my grandmother and my mum by taking them to London. My great aunt stayed at their home to look after the dog and was asked by my grandfather to invite those on the street without a tv into the house to watch it. This whole tradition and pledges of allegiance is why the crimes of Harry and Meghan are so terrible. It’s bot just ab attack against family members or even the Royal Family as a business. It’s an attack against THIS. An attack against the honour. An attack against 1000s of years of work. I guarantee that almost everyone in the UK at the moment the Royal Anthem is sung would have been on their feet with a glass of sherry singing along.

Great video, Joel, your instincts are unerring so please go with your own judgement. I was 5 years old at the time of the Coronation and watched it on the neighbours 9" screen black and white TV. Looking at your video I am reminded that that was a distant age, a far off land that for me was full of joy and excitement. The hereditary Monarchy is, of course, ludicrous, except of course that it seems to work rather well for us at least. It works best on the symbolic level, a family that experiences all the highs and lows of family life just like the rest of us, and most of all, a family of nations arising, for better or worse, from the British Empire, and most especially as a symbol of the continuity of our nations and cultures.(P.S. It is also quite cheap compared to other Heads of State)
