Before satellites or transatlantic video cables, how Elizabeth's coronation was broadcast in the U.S. in 1953. BTW, even IF the coronation would be televised domestically in the UK was controversial at the time. - https://www.tvinsider.com/1059788/queen-elizabeth-coronation-1953-tv-guide/

@lauren Is this going to be a big event in the USA? Over here, we even get an extra day off on Monday and the Colin The Caterpillar cakes have little crowns.

@TonyJWells Well, it's certainly not a holiday. But it *is* history, one way or another. And maybe the last coronation like this? Possible.

@melissadancey @TonyJWells That assumes that the monarchy lasts that long in its current form.
