Read the news from 2nd June 1953 when two pieces of news grabbed the headlines - the coronation of the Queen Elizabeth II and the conquering of Mount Everest by Edmund Hillary. The genuine edition of the Daily Express is in good condition. Due to ageing the paper is beginning to brown slightly and where it has been folded for the past sixty-five years some small holes and tears have developed but these don't affect the readability or appearance of the newspaper. The eight pages give a real insight into the social history of the day, not only of news stories but also sporting news and many product advertisements. The newspaper also comes with a four page television supplement detailing all aspects of the coverage for the great day. This is an ideal item for any collector of Royal Memorabilia, as a display piece or for someone interested in social history.
