Barney’s mother, Lucy, said:

>  
> “We will make sure Barney knows all about the historic day as he grows up.  
>  
> “To be involved in the celebration and presentation event is a memory we shall treasure.”

Cllr Alan White said:

> “We all knew that the King’s Coronation was going to be a wonderful event and we wanted to find a fitting way for Staffordshire to mark the day.  
>  
> “The birth of a child is a very special time for all concerned but for those born on the day of the Coronation, I’m sure for the parents it was made even more memorable.   
>
