• History

I was working in the Co-op grocery shop on Elton Road at the time the Queen Mother opened the Assembly Rooms.

My colleagues and I waited at the railing on Osmaston Park Road for her to pass by. It was great thrill to see her and wave to her.

We had left the Co-op shop door wide open but, luckily for us, we had no customers or thieves for the few minutes we were away from our posts.
