Queen Elizabeth II's First Visit To Chelmsford In The 50's

A Memory of Chelmsford.

I was still at school when the Queen came to Chelmsford for the first time. I don't know what the occasion was, nor the year, but at the time my father, Roy Iliffe, was working as a dentist and we lived next door to St Anne's school, which I attended between 1957 and 1961. I still have family in the town, as it was then, my aunt was a teacher and my uncle and cousins played cricket. My grandfather was also a dentist.
