Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
Script by Jonquil Antony
The Sunday before Coronation Day the Dales attended a special Coronation Service, and on the great day David, Gwen, Jenny, and Bob took Monument to watch the procession. After the return of the procession, Monument fainted and was taken to a St. John's Ambulance station. He was then taken home. David, Gwen, Jenny, and Bob returned to see the fireworks. Dr. and Mrs. Dale watched the procession from the windows of John Graham's club, and Mrs. Freeman stayed at Virginia Lodge to look after Billy and the animals. Unfortunately she forgot to tie up Angeline, the goat, who munched Mrs. Mountford's peas and lettuces, Mrs. Sandiman's dahlias, and Monument's Coronation border!
