Apparently my mother is now the eldest living descendant of Queen Victoria. “That makes me feel ancient" she said. Perhaps an additonal milestone would be the coronation of King Charles. If my mother has the strength for another journey around the sun and attends the coronation she might be the only living person to have attended THREE coronations. This is a photograph of a grumpy 8 year-old Domino, wearing the little velvet cloak that was made for my mother to wear to King George VI’s coronation, when she was 8 years-old.
