What really kicked it off was the end of rationing and the Queens coronation
in 1953. I am old enough to have watched the coronation in Liverpool on TV.
Well sort of TV. My Father worked at the Army Anti-Aircraft depot in
Daysbrook Lane in Liverpool. The guns were guided by radar and one of the
technical types had converted a surplus 9" Radar display to show TV.
Sound? They just turned the radio on!
For many years I thought our Queen was a sort of orange colour.
