THE anniversary of the Coronation reminded me of the day in 1953 when we were all presented with a Coronation Cup at Rawcliffe Junior School, Clifton Without.

All these years later, after having a brief visit to the Museum Gardens for the royal salute, I had to dash away to make up the numbers for the Institute's Golden Rail Brass Band, at Rawcliffe Park.
