Festival of Britain
I was told that I attended the Festival of Britain in 1951 but wasn’t born.
Anecdotal evidence is that my mother passed through the turnstile and it locked leaving my father outside.
Apparently she was the certain number visitor to the festival and as such was awarded a radio of the kind used by the French resistance during WWII.
Unfortunately she died five years later when I was four and I was raised in childrens homes.
I have tried to find out more about it but as I don’t know what date it was my searches have been in vain.
As I was born 8 Sept, it was between when it opened and then.
If anyone can help I’d be very grateful.
