45 years ago: Bentham Road, Standish, UK – 7th June 1977
One of my earliest memories: the 1977 Silver Jubilee. Here I am with my cousin Adam, both of us aged 3½, at a street party, in front of his house. I don’t remember much else of the day – it was 45 years ago! 2022 marks the fourth Jubilee of my lifetime, which is about as many as any British subject has ever lived through – apart from anyone now aged 87 or above. They have lived through a record-breaking fifth Jubilee: 1935 was the year of George VI’s Silver Jubilee.
