Every member of our West Midlands community will have their own memories of the Royal Family and now a project, called ‘Memories of the Royal Family’, backed by the Heritage Lottery fund, aims to create an archive of these unique individual memories.
This could include memories of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s reign, including, how you felt personally about her death and her funeral. It could also include how people in your community felt, their emotions, what they did, etc. In addition, community members could also focus on past Royal family events in the West Midlands and their thoughts and emotions about other members, such as Charles becoming King, William and Kate, Princess Anne, Princess Diana, Prince Phillip, and other senior members of the Royal family.
In 2022, we lived through ‘once in a lifetime’ Royal events and 2023 will see the coronation of King Charles III.
Much of this history relates to unique individual memories, so that they remain for future generations.
