Share your memories of how the town celebrated Her Majesty's Coronation and subsequent royal events such as royal weddings or royal visits to Hartlepool.
As we celebrate this amazing milestone for Her Majesty The Queen and for the country, we’re keen to look back at how Hartlepool has celebrated royal events during her reign.
In particular, we’d love to hear people’s reminiscences of how they celebrated the 1953 Coronation in Hartlepool – did you have a street party, for example, or decorate your home or did you receive a commemorative item from school?
We’d also like to hear people’s experiences of subsequent royal events, such as the 1977 Silver Jubilee, when The Queen visited the town, or her later visit in 1993 to open the Marina, or Princess Anne’s 1970 visit to open Middleton Grange Shopping Centre.
As well as recording their personal reminiscences, we’re very much hoping people will share with us their photographs of those events – original photographs will be carefully copied and returned – and lend us items of related memorabilia to feature in the exhibition.
It’s an opportunity to look back on some of Hartlepool’s happiest royal days and to pay tribute to the Queen’s remarkable reign.
