What to expect

Heartwarming and nostalgic storytelling set on the nation’s favourite street

It’s 1953 and the nation’s favourite street is preparing to celebrate Elizabeth II’s coronation.

Josie Grimshaw has moved to Coronation Street to live with her mother’s old friend, Elsie Lappin. The street is excited for the upcoming coronation of the new queen, Elizabeth, but Elsie is finding it hard to celebrate anything after the loss of her husband.

Over at the Rovers Return, Annie Walker is distracted by her tearaway son, Billie, who has found himself expelled from school. When Josie starts to help Elsie out at the family grocer’s store, it risks bringing a secret out into the open that she is desperate to keep.

As the street swoons over the beautiful young queen and her handsome Prince, tensions simmer beneath the surface. Can the street put their troubles behind them and make Coronation Day a celebration to remember?
