Topic:

Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 – Reflections of a Life Member

In June 1953 our speaker attended the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, representing the Province of BC as a member of a contingent of 12 Sea Cadets. The 16-year-old cadets sailed from Halifax on the aircraft carrier HMCS Magnificent.  The presentation will feature images and a video with Sea Cadet Zanon on Coronation Day in London; and the Naval Review at Portsmouth on the aircraft carrier HMCS Magnificent.
