The team from the archive have created a fascinating two minute edit of footage set to stirring music that shows local people celebrating the coronations of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 and King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1937.
"It will be fascinating to see if those celebrating this time choose to film their events and pass them to the archive for us to look back on in years to come. The work of collecting material for the archive continues so we can hopefully leave just as rich a legacy as those before us.
