Re: 1977, queens jubilee

The only memory I have of this (I'd have been two at the time) is rolling up my trousers to display my union-jack socks and the chubbiest set of pins known to mankind! I bumped into an auntie I'd not seen for a couple of years last week, who was very quick to remind me of said event!

Re: 1977, queens jubilee

We had a street party in the flats that we lived in at the time, I was five (and a half) and my brother was three. I dressed up as Evel Kenevel and my brother was the 6 million dollar man...I think. We also have some pics of the time but they are on 'slide' format. I must dig them out. I was crowned Prince for the day and the 8 years old girl from upstairs was the Princess, I was told that I had to KISS this giirrrrlll but I just refused, I hope she's not to traumatized.

We had a street parade doe through my school. We got a mug which I still have somewhere.

There is a picture of me in the parade. A couple of us rode our bikes all done up in red, white and blue. I will attempt to get it and post it at some point.

Re: 1977, queens jubilee

We decorated the house and there was a street party but not on our street in the hall of a local factory.
There was a fancy dress competition my 6 month old sister was wrapped in red,blue and white bunting as baby bunting, my brother was Concorde and I was a jubilee mug.

I collected royal memorabilia and have all kinds of things mugs, coins, biscuit and sweet tins, trays, plates, corgi and matchbox buses and beer etc.

Chocolate was in special wrappers. They sold playing cards with it on too.

Re: 1977, queens jubilee

Strange, I was 19 at the time so it wasn't that I was too young to remember......but I don't think it was celebrated as much this far north. I certainly can't remember any street parties!

Re: 1977, queens jubilee

Re: 1977, queens jubilee

I remember the street party in our road. There were trestle tables laid out full of food and drink, and a fancy dress party for the kids. I went as Captain Britain, dressed in red and with the plastic Captain Britain chest piece and cardboard mask and union jack wristbands given away with the Captain's comic. I didn't win. That was Elaine bloody Starns as a fairy princess...
