Royal Visitors at Hoar Cross Hall #49

...1977, her Golden Jubilee in 2002 and her Diamond Jubilee in 2012. During her Coronation 27 million people watched it on TV and another 11 million listened on the radio in the days when not many people had a TV. I can imagine lots of front rooms crammed with neighbours eager to see the new Queen or even watching outside a shop window (yes, this really did happen!)
People watching the Coronation in 1952
The Queen and her family made their first documentary for TV in 1969 and she had her first walkabout in 1970 during a tour of Australia.
The Queen had fourteen Prime Ministers during her reign, the first one being Sir Winston Churchill who helped her eno...

...“HE’S BEHIND YOU!” During the 1970s the Hall was used from time to time for local community activities and one such event was the production in 1978 of a traditional pantomime, ‘Midnight and a Journey back to Happiness’. It was written by local people, Robert Leighton from Yoxall and the Hon. Alexandra Meynell, daughter-in-law of Mrs Jean Meynell whom we had purchased the Hall from. The words and music were written by local songwriter, David Matthews, who had written songs for quite a few pop artists during the 1960s, his most famous being Matt Munro’s ‘We’re gonna change the world’.
