CORONATION

t was early in the morning when

Elizabeth's father, King George VI,

died. Now, the new monarch who

would be on the throne was

Princess Elizabeth's.

The last time that Lilibeth saw her

father alive was before her

departure to Kenya, Africa. She

would never see him again

Some days after, the King passed

away. But did you know that,

conventionally, she wasn't

supposed to be coronated?

Why not?

At that time, women were not

supposed to be in charge of the

monarchy. When Princess Elizabeth

was born, her parents knew that

because of C-Section operation,

they would have little chance to have

more children, such as a boy. But in

1930, the Royal family expanded :

Princess Margaret was born. Thanks

to the birth of her sister, PrincessElizabeth would be the Queen

because of her uncle's abdication,

years later.

Why and how?

From Princess Elizabeth to QueenElizabeth IIIn 1953,Princess Lilibeth became the new Queen of theUnited Kingdom. Why did she become the Queen? Howdid it happen?

I

Official portrait of thenew Queen, Elizabeth II

DID YOU KNOW?

Her Majesty repeatedher coronation.When she knew that she wouldbe the new monarch, shedecided to repeat and repeather coronation day.Why?She wanted to broadcast herinvestiture on the throne andshe wanted to do it like herfather, King George VI. Monthsbefore this important ceremony,

she learnt by heart the routineof her coronation day in front ofher eldest son, Prince Charles,the future King.


One year after King George VI's

death, on June 2nd 1953, Elizabeth

II became the Queen of the U.K.

This ceremony was a big success in

the world. It was the first British

Royal ceremony to be broadcasted.

Thanks to this event, 3.2 million TV's

were sold in the world, to watch this

event.

The Queen was coronated in the

Abbey of Westminster, like her

father. Her children, Charles and

Anne, were present during their

mother's investiture on the Royal

throne. After her passage in theAbbey, Elizabeth saluted the British

people with her Royal salut.

And now?

Elizabeth is still the Queen of the

U.K. In 2015, became the Longest

British Reigning Monarch. When will

Charles become the King? Will she

abdicate or die? The future will tell

us.

if the Queen and Margaret Thacther

were women, they were not friends.

from circa 1950".

In the end, the two women learned to

work with each other, and got on well

socially.

This year message, read from the

Long Library at Sandringham

House, was the first to be broadcast

and was also the 25th anniversary of

the first Christmas broadcast on

radio. The Queen noted the

milestone and the advance of

technology that allowed her

message to be viewed in her

subjects' homes. She added thatwhile change might be bewildering,

it is important to hold on to ageless

ideals and values such as

Westminster Abbey is located in the

heart of London, near the Thames.

It is a huge church, of 225 feet high,

which was built in the 13th century,

under the reign of Henri III, a

mission given to Henry of Reyns.

This famous abbey, known for its

gothic style and as the symbol of

anglican religion, is ranked asUNESCO World Heritage site.

The most important events which

took place in Westminster Abbey are

recorded by the BBC since Queen

Elizabeth's coronation, mostly

events which are related to the royal

family

Indeed, the abbey is used to be the

coronation church since 1066, but

also it is the final resting place of the17 English monarchs. As a result,

Westminster Abbey is seems to be

an important place in the English

sovereigns' journey.

Moreover, King Edward's chair takes

shelter in the London's most famous

church, being useful for the enthrone

of British sovereigns since Edward I.

Situated in West London

between Oxford Street,

Piccadilly, Park Lane and

Regent Street, Mayfair is a

district where circulate

thousands of tourists in

London.

The name of Mayfair

comes from a cattle fair that

took place in the district from

1686 to 1764, but which willbe deleted by Georges I

because of the mess caused

by the animals. After that, it

will be wished by the

Londonian bourgeoisie, who

was too cramped in the

St James's ParkIn 1532, Henri VIII bought the college of Eton (situated in Westminster)

to build a magnificent park that was reserved to welcome the kings and

queens of the other countries. But the king got bored and decided to

abandon the project. Luckily, one hundred years later, the young king

Charles II, fascinated by the beauty of the french palaces, decided to

renew the park into a french looking garden. For the occasion, he

demanded to a french gardener, Andr Mollet, to draw the plans of the

new St Jame's Park. Soon the park was finished and it was the pride of

the king. But unfortunately, during the first world war, the British driedup the lake of the park so that the Germans couldn't use the lake as a

landmark to destroy Buckingham palace. Don't worry, now park's lake

has been filled up and there it is one of the most visited places in

London .

Here we have a nice picture of StJame's park's lake.

Important dates:

1532: first creation ofthe park

XVIIth century toXVIIIth century:renew

of the park

1887: opening to thepublic

1914-1918: drying upof the lake thenrefilling.


The link with the

Queen is that St

James's Park is

(initially) a royal park.

And the park is quite

near to Buckingham

palace, so we can

imagine that ElizabethII had a few walks

there.

The Horse Guards Parade inLondon

Some information on this popular event :

Lots of tourists think that the guards

are not very sociable and nice but it's

because of their job !

They do not :

- speak

- smile (even if a person wants to make

picture with the guard )- joke

- and they need to stay right

It's a very hard job .

What about the uards !?The guards are not very sociable.
