C is for Coronations . . . Don'cha Just Lov'em!

We're about to have another one you know! Hopefully the last, and yes, I know I did a couple of Royalist posts ten or twelve years ago, but I know now, what I didn't know then, or didn't fully understand!

Hill-Hilco-Hillco-Hill and Co.,Johillco - Johilco,Britains,Benbros,Lesney,Royalty,Coronation,Wagons,Metal - Hollow Cast,1:Micro-scale,30mm,40mm,HO - OO,Metal - Lead,Metal - Die Cast,C
Found in the garage yesterday and taken straight to storage, but I fired off a quick shot. Somehow I doubt there will be the same plethora of die-casts issued this time, and most of the issuers (some of whom reused tools from previous coronations - we had four or five (going on the stamp-faces) in less than fifty years!) have long gone, along with their tool-banks.

I think there are elements of Hill, Benbros, Britains and Lesney here? I'm tagging them all anyway! It's a whole box of metal, from the small-scale only collector-days!
