Coronation
A Memory of Wembley.
One of my most vivid memories is of the 1953 Coronation Party on Eastcote Avenue, the road was closed to erect a stage, and my Dad Freddie Hewitt help put it up. We lived at Number 48. Mrs Palmer lived next door and my mother had a strong dislike of her. Another memory is of an older boy called Bernard O'Brien putting up with me when he and others went fishing on the Grand Union Canal. He caught a small fish and put it in a jam bottle and gave it to me. I told my Mum that I'd caught it. Sadly the fish died shortly afterwards.
