m77owl Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I was there. I had just joined a new school so was a first year. The second years did the marching. We used to watch them practice in the school yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lees Tom Cat Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 We should name a stand after her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincs Owl Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 After that, she went up Herries Road towards the Northern General hospital. I was 7 at the time, and remember being handed a flag, and sitting on our wall on Herries Road as she went past. I remember she seemed to wave in our direction. I am now a bit of a Republican, so it prob wasn't a big deal, though it seemed like it at the time. Notice no security in the ground. Any nutter could have popped her off. She was alo there to open the Kop roof of course. Never been to T'Lane as far as I know. So..... 2-0 to T'Lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaping Lannys Perm Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Was I the only one who thought the kids were making a swastika until they zoomed out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Wednesday Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Was I the only one who thought the kids were making a swastika until they zoomed out? Ha ha! I thought that too. Did look very militaristic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UncoveredKop Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 My mum took part in the synchronised marching on the pitch. I loved this footage - the Coronation must have been fresh in everyone's minds. A few general thoughts: - the old saying is true, the past is a foreign country - Hillsborough looked stunning, especially the old Leppings Lane end, I could really do with a De Lorean right now with a Flux Capacitor to go back in time and see it live! - the welcoming ceremony we put on the pitch, in my opnion, was more dignified than the overblown hyped up garbage seen at the Olympics opening ceremony in London this year - if we could get the FA / Government to give us some money to demolish and rebuild the Leppings Lane end, we could invite her back to open the new stand!

dunsbyowl Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Ha ha! I thought that too. Did look very militaristic. Well they are a bunch of Germans at the end of the day aren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember being quite surprised by all that maroon on the car, most cars were black then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Sewell Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Wasn't that snow up by Hillsboro Golf Club, in late October? Does that still happen because I can remember sometimes seeing it from Lyminster Road and wishing we had snow too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PrincessWendy Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 During the Queen's visit - http://www.yfaonline...field-wednesday 5:37 in Absolutely brilliant! My grandmother was at that one. I was going to wear her dress (the one she wore at the reception) to my cousin's wedding in July but it didn't fit me (way too big!) and is surprisingly moth-eaten and faded. Back in the attic with it!Bless you HRH Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
