PICK OF THE DAY

THE QUEEN’S CORONATION IN COLOUR, 9PM, ITV

ON JUNE 2, 1953, the people of Britain gathered around their clunky, small-screen television sets to watch the Coronation, marvelling at the black-and-white footage. Marking the 65th anniversary of that historic day, Alexander Armstrong presents this tribute, with the help of colour footage so vibrant that it seems to leap out of our modern television screens — much like the recent royal wedding. Len Goodman, Alison Steadman, Prince Michael of Kent, Trevor McDonald and Michael Crawford are among those sharing their memories of the landmark event.
