On this day in 1952 British King George VI died at Sandringham. Two days later the Accession Council met and Elizabeth, by "consent of tongue and heart", is declared Queen. She was crowned on June 2, 1953. Sixty years on, she's still at it. God save the Queen.

Three cheers for Elizabeth II, Queen of England -- Hip, hip, hooray!
Handsome man, George VI. Could take a lesson from you in natty attire.
Ahhhh, now we see the genetics that went into the making of her son, Andrew.

Wallis's husband described Bertie as the natty one. He is also supposedly the creator of the 6:1 DB jacket.
It's hard to believe Elizabeth has been on the throne that long. I loved the film, "The King's Speech." Great insight into King George's life.
Flo, I wonder if that's not why mum likes him best.
I believe the individual in the photo is the Duke of Kent (died WW II), younger brother of Edward VIII and George VI.
Thank you anon, I was wrong!!!!!! The photo has been changed.
