Day 217 – The Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Spoon

Today’s spoon is a souvenir of Queen Elizabeth’s Silver Jubilee in 1977. 


My mother-in-law, Margie, picked this spoon, and dictated the post to me as follows:

“Oh! The Coronation! We had to watch this on TV, and it was in black and white on a 6 inch screen, I think—When did TV come out?—and there was a magnifying glass on it so you could see better. And if your TV didn’t work you had to go down to the TV store and get a tube and then you’d replace the tube. But to get back to the spoon, it was really amazing to watch her and her gown was beautiful and her frickin robe with all the crap was amazing and I probably just wanted to be outside playing. Anyway, she should step down, she’s old. But I guess if Charles was my son I wouldn’t want him ruling either.”

Day 153 – The Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Spoon

Although she officially ascended the throne on February 6, 1952, Elizabeth officially became Queen Elizabeth II during her coronation on June 2, 1953. Happy 64th Anniversary to the reigning monarch of The Commonwealth! 

This is one of many coronation spoons I own for some inexplicable reason. My mother-in-law is losing her ever-loving sh*t right now.
