The Coronation, Aberfan, the Investiture and the Miners' Strike are discussed during this interview. She saw the Coronation in a packed terraced house but, of course, by the time of the other royal event, the Investiture, there was a television in almost everyone's home. She remembers the Queen's dress and refers to the protesters, saying that she could not understand their objection. The interviewee remembers the awful weather on the day of the Aberfan disaster and the waves of people who went there to try to help. Having spoken of the Miners' Strike she talks of the Tonypandy rioters in 1910 and the kind of place the Rhondda is today.
