On the morning of June 2, 1953, the Queen was preparing for the most important day of her life - her coronation.
She donned fancy robes and a priceless crown for the special day all those years ago, knowing she was entering the history book as millions of people around the world tuned in.
Her Majesty, now 96, stood aside her husband Prince Philip and her supportive six maids of honour for the momentous event.
