In 1977, if it
wasn't red, white and blue it wasn't worth having |
|
The first of our Jubilee memories comes from Caroline, who was 13
in 1977.
She put together a whole scrapbook dedicated to the Queen's Silver
Jubilee.
Carefully stuck in the pages are post cards, magazine and newspaper
cuttings.
There is
a commemorative plastic bag, a notepad (never used!), milk bottle
tops and even an ice lolly wrapper, as well as jubilee badges and
Caroline's official collector's tag for the Silver Jubilee appeal.
 |
|
Caroline's
notepad was kept in a pristine condition
|
The teenage fan
annotated all the pages with information about the royal family and
jubilee events.
"I
was really into the royal family and the jubilee," said Caroline.
"I even made pompom animals to sell at the village fete to raise
money for the jubilee appeal."
"It seems strange looking back now at the kinds of things I collected
and then kept!"
Your memories, photographs and video footage are being compiled into
the production Jubilation, which will be staged during Jubilee
weekend on the 1st and 2nd of June at the Colston Hall.
