Carl Zanon will watch the upcoming coronation of King Charles III from afar, but his mind will inevitably be cast back to a similar event for which he had a front-row seat nearly a lifetime ago.

Zanon, who now lives in West Kelowna, was 16 years old in 1953 when Queen Elizabeth II was set to be crowned, following her accession to the throne nearly a year earlier.

It was an event with all the pomp and circumstance that British royalty can muster, and people across the Commonwealth were tapped to take part. Among them were 12 sea cadets from across Canada and Zanon was in their ranks.

Jasmine King has his story as a new monarch prepares to be crowned.
