When George VI died I remember one of the schoolmasters boasting of a score of 6.

There must be someone on here born before 1937 (my birth year), who can include Edward VIII.

I wonder how many of those saying 3 would have to drop to 2 if asked if they remember the King or at least him dying. It has to be a real memory and not one told to you.

I have to drop to 2. Elizabeth & Charles

Like you, names, I can only actually remember two of them, but I do remember the coronation party we had when I was 5. It was in the church hall at the bottom of our street and going by the dress I wore you would think I was about 18 month old. It was very baby like with short puff sleeves and a shirred bodice. We all wore cardboard hats with a picture or sticker of a crown on the front.

I can remember the king and remember him dying, listening to all the sombre music We had a TV (very small and B&W of course, I have vague memories of seeing something of the funeral. and definitely remember watching the coronation. (I was born 1940).
Strangely, given that I would have been at high school at the time, I don't remember what happened about the funeral or the coronation at school.
