Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation took place on 2nd June 1953, 16 months after she officially became the Queen after her father, King George VI passed away. It was a momentous day in history and a lavish affair by all accounts, capturing the excitement of the nation.
Queen Elizabeth II was the longest-serving British monarch in history, loved by the nation for her no-nonsense attitude, incredible work ethic and love of her family. We're looking back at where it all began at the grand service at Westminster Abbey, when the Queen was just 27 years old.
