Where were you on Coronation Day in 1953?

Perhaps you were huddled round your new-fangled gadget called a television set, watching all the events as they unfolded in London.   Or maybe you took part in this local celebration in the shadow of the Market House in Ledbury.  Newspapers of the day reported that some 7,000 people turned up to take part.  The event was filmed by the stationmaster and edited some years later to produce this footage.  Perhaps you were there – we would love to know!
