09/08/22 I WITNESSED HER CORONATION
(but missed the significance)

Six years old (1953), sitting with mom and other Scots in my uncle's apartment in L. A., tuned into the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.

I know we listened to it, though I was not focused on the event. I cannot definitely say that we watched it on TV (in any format), but I believe we did because I remember images, which were uninteresting to me. We probably did watch it on TV, since my uncle would have owned a TV and invited folks over to celebrate.

I am not being rude, but I did not realize the historic, cultural, international and even spiritual import of the moment. I did think the carriage was cool.

This event is credited with the moment that TV showed it's international broadcasting prowess and future. I do remember, but I wish I had paid closer attention.
