Caroline Kennedy remembers running races at Windsor Castle
Ms Kennedy said she remembers having lunch at Windsor Castle before the ceremony, and that she and the other children had running races to keep them occupied while the adults ate.
LONDON – After the assassination of US President John F Kennedy in 1963 the Queen granted an acre of land at Runnymede – near to Windsor Great Park – as a memorial for his family.
The president’s daughter Caroline – then aged seven – was at the ceremony in 1965 where the Queen dedicated the Portland stone memorial.
Ms Kennedy – now US ambassador to Australia – told Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg that for Americans the Queen has been a constant presence in their lives. She says the alliance with Britain has endured and the Queen is the embodiment of that relationship.
She says her father was an admirer of the UK and spent a lot of time there – and was part of the same generation as the Queen.
