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.

Well spotted Roger. I have added a correction to the page. I was 6 years old
at the time and living on the Durham coast. I remember a cold, cloudy and
blustery day-mind you there plenty of them on that coast. Another highlight
of the 2nd was my father listening to the wireless and hearing the
announcement that Everest had been conquered.

All the best
