Easterlies and dry for the Royal Wedding according to GFS.

Well, it didn't work for her Coronation in 1953 - IIRC it turned out to
be one of the coldest June days on record?


Indeed, and here is a rather old page I prepared some time ago

George in Epping

George, the coronation was on 2nd June, not the 3rd. So I assume there is
an error somewhere along the chain.


Like George, I'd always understand that it was 3rd June, but checking in
Wikipedia that says the 2nd, both in its Elizabeth II article and in
"List of coronations of British monarchs".
