8th June 1977: The residents are out in force to join in the national celebration of the Silver Jubilee. On the Coronation Street float, Ena Sharples is Queen Victoria, Fred Gee is Sir Francis Drake, Ernie Bishop is Walter Raleigh, Ken Barlow is Sir Edmund Hilary and Annie Walker is Queen Elizabeth I. Their participation is called off however when the van for the float won't start because of Stan Ogden draining the battery by leaving the lights on all night. The residents hold a kangaroo court for Stan in the Rovers, with Eddie Yeats defending him, Fred prosecuting and Albert Tatlock serving as judge. Stan is found guilty and has to buy a round of drinks.
