Did you know that it is 60 years since the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth? I've always been partial to all things royal - this week I watched a documentary on the Coronation, of course it was the first time a coronation had been televised, it showed the film reels being loaded on a plane headed for Canada - the next Coronation will be different, for sure - in this new tech world we live in - everything will be instant!
After watching that show, I knew I had to SMASH something for the Queen..
I've done a couple of Royal SMASH pages already...
In 1991, Charles and Diana came to Sudbury, Ontario - I stood on the side of the road, with Darcy in a stroller, hoping for a glimpse, well, it was a cloudy day with showers, they were late and all I saw was them speeding down the road, Diana was wearing a pink suit, she was waving...
In January, I started SMASHing - my first page was one on Princess Diana..
I had another chance to see Royalty in 2011 and this one worked out way better, I just happened to be home on Prince Edward Island when Kate and William visited - it was well worth getting up in the middle of the night to get our position, in the front row - it was something I'll never forget...
SMASHing is such a great way to keep these memories alive - I can look at these any time and remember. But, maybe now I'll go and have a look at my Coronation View Master reels, I found these last year at a Salvation Army for a couple of bucks.
