Synopsis

It’s the end of May 1953. A heatwave has burned the country to a crisp and the whole nation is at fever pitch as it prepares to crown its beautiful new Queen. Streets are scrubbed spotless. Red, white and blue bunting is strung from every lamppost. And thousands of kitchens have produced thousands of cakes as the countdown begins to a magical day full of pomp, pageantry and patriotism, the likes of which the country has never seen before.Barbara Songhurst and Christine Reed, two young friends from Teddington, have planned the weekend leading up to the big day with military precision. Christine is going to battle through the crowds just so she can see the dashingly handsome Prince Phillip with her very own eyes and Barbara has bought a yellow and white floral bathing suit from the West End which will hopefully clinch her the title of Beauty Pageant Queen 1953.Alfred Whiteway also lives in Teddington. He despises the Royal Family and the Queen and everything she stands for. The only plans he has for the 2nd of June are to get completely rat-arsed and fuck a prostitute or two. With a penchant for knives and a reputation locally as a lunatic who swings through the trees of Bushey Park like an ape, Alfie is the kind of man best avoided.But on the 31st of May, two days before Princess Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth II, Barbara and Christine's paths crossed with Alfie Whiteway's. It was totally unavoidable. And it cost them both their lives.
