Weatherday: Don't screen the Queen

A cloudy start, with a little light rain possible until mid-morning. Becoming brighter, with some sunny spells in the afternoon.

Humid, with temperatures reaching 19deg in moderate to light southerly breezes.

On this day in 1953, Dublin cinema owners decided not to screen the film of Queen Elizabeth's coronation in London, for fear of damage to their premises.
