Royal memories: 鈥業 won a space to watch the Queen鈥檚 coronation鈥�
Jean Styles has met the Queen twice, the first in 1945 when she presented a bouquet to the Queen consort and the young Princess Elizabeth was accompanying her.
The second time was when Jean won a space in a window overlooking the Mall to watch the Queen鈥檚 coronation procession pass.
Speaking to Radio 5 Live, Jean says watching the gold coach pass was 鈥渨onderful鈥�, but another highlight of the day was the buffet.
鈥淎lthough rationing was coming to an end, there were things we were short of,鈥� she says. 鈥淭o see a wonderful buffet going on was great鈥� bananas and things like that we鈥檇 missed through the war.鈥�
