It seems you should roughen the surface of the lemon filling and be careful of temperatures:

Origin of Eton Mess ( from Wikipedia):
"Eton mess is a traditional English dessert consisting of a mixture of strawberries, meringue, and whipped cream.[1] First mentioned in print in 1893, it is commonly believed to originate from Eton College and is served at the annual cricket match against the pupils of Harrow School.[2]
Eton mess was served in the 1930s in the school's "sock shop" (tuck shop), and was originally made with either strawberries or bananas mixed with ice-cream or cream.[3][4] Meringue was a later addition.[5][6] An Eton mess can be made with many other types of summer fruit,[7] but strawberries are regarded as more traditional.
Lancing mess (which uses bananas) is a similar dessert which is served throughout the year at Lancing College in West Sussex, England.
The word mess may refer to the appearance of the dish,[5] or may be used in the sense of "a quantity of food", particularly "a prepared dish of soft food" or "a mixture of ingredients cooked or eaten together".[8"

Lyn, I have never had a problem with meringue slipping off the lemon filling. I have always made the lemon filling in advance ie the day before and refrigerated it in a dish that is similar in size to my pie dish.
On the day, I make the base and cool it, invert the filling into the base and then pile the meringue on top. I cook it slowly until the meringue is cooked and the filling warm.
I was interested to read in one of J1's links that the secret to success is putting the filling in the base while it is still hot - I have never had any luck with that method.
Regards,
Barbara Anne

Something else that I have just remembered is that my late mother-in-law used to claim that you couldn't make a good lemon meringue pie filling with Meyer lemons - they needed to be 'proper' lemons, otherwise the filling wouldn't set properly. Of course who was I to argue, but I can't say that I've ever noticed any difference, certainly not with the recipe and method I use.
However, I thought it was worth a mention
