Apr. 04, 1953 - Ex-Typist Will Be Eyes Of The World On Coronation Day: Millions of people all over the English-speaking world will” see” Queen Elizabeth II leave Buckingham Palace in the State Coach for her crowning at Westminster Abbey through the eyes of Jean Metcalfe, British Broadcasting Corporation commentator who will be stationed in a room inside the Palace. Jean started with the BBC in 1940 as a typist, and worked up to announcing in under a year. This will be her first job outside the Studio. Photo shows Jean Metcalfe, one of the two women on the BBC's main team of Coronation Day commentators. American networks will probably interlard their own commentators' voices with excerpts from the British team.
