My remembrance of Queen Elizabeth II goes back to when she became Queen in 1952. Quote from my biography "Notes and Clippings, It all Started in Saskatchewan" , 'We were given the day off school for the Coronation Day of Queen Elizabeth II on June 2, 1953. It was a big affair in England as well as in every small town in Saskatchewan. On this occasion the Gallivan school children were bused to North Battleford to attend a parade.'
In May 2005 Queen Elizabeth II visited Regina, Saskatchewan. She was very dignified in handling the very cool rainy day.
The Regina Council Of Women were invited to attend. We were seated to observe the festivities that took place in front of the Parliament Buildings.
