Magic moment Coronation cameras missed
The committee convened to organise the 1953 Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II took a full year to finalise the details amid argument as to how to maximise the impact of the event. One key question was whether the ceremony should be televised.
The Prime Minister Winston Churchill was reportedly horrified at the idea that "modern mechanical arrangements" - television cameras - should be used to broadcast from inside Westminster Abbey.
