Synopsis: Two Dorset children, John (Colin Gibson) and Julie (Lesley Dudley), run away to London determined to witness the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.

Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): Once in London the children get separated in the crowds and Julie, frightened and upset, runs down an alley where she is approached by a cute tuxedo cat (clearly bribed by food at her feet!)
