Description: | Bryant and May Ltd produced this souvenir box of matches for Odeon theatres. They commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II and were issued free to filmgoers in Odeon cinemas at the time of the event in 1953.
In the days following the coronation, Odeon cinemas screened two full-length colour films of it. 'Elizabeth Is Queen' and 'Queen is Crowned' attracted large crowds including those who had watched the coronation live on a small, snowy black and white television screen. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | Leisure Identity and Icons | Temporal: | 1953 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
