Although Elizabeth became Queen on 6th February 1952, she wasn't crowned until 2nd June 1953. Many people bought a television specially for the occasion, and lucky friends, family and neighbours were invited round to watch the coronation. Kids can colour in this picture while noticing and discussing the similarities with our royal celebrations today (flags, bunting, televised processions) and, of course, the differences (clothes, formality, size of screen!)
