Template:1 June

1st June 1977: The residents of Coronation Street put on several events to mark the silver jubilee of Elizabeth II, among them two competitions in the Community Centre. One was to find Weatherfield's glamorous grannie and the other was for the town's beautiful baby. Elsie Howard was not pleased to be entered into the former without her knowledge by Gail Potter and Suzie Birchall while Deirdre Langton had high hopes that her five-month old daughter Tracy would win the baby contest. Elsie dropped out of the contest, depressed that she'd have no one to go to London with if she won while a disappointed Hilda Ogden and Vera Duckworth failed to even make the top three. Tracy was more successful however and won her proud parents the trip to London.
