Congratulations Your Majesty on your achievement today, and my thoughts are with you in the remembrance of your late father too.
Queen Elizabeth has seen so many changes throughout the UK in her 60 years, some have been for the best and some haven't, but her sense of dignity, grace, love of her country, devotion to her faith, and her unfaltering loyalty to all the people of the Commonwealth have made her one of the most famous people ever to have lived, especially in the 20th Century, and through not the 21st Century too!
She returned to the UK and was met off the aeroplane by her first Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, and other dignitaries, and later that day, she was proclaimed Queen Elizabeth II. Her mother, the then current Queen Elizabeth, was now the dowager Queen, and instead used a title created for her by her daughter, as Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother. She also kept her title Her Majesty, because she was married to The King.
It is 60 years ago today that HM King George VI died in his sleep from lung cancer.
The then HRH Princess Elizabeth was with her husband HRH The Duke of Edinburgh in Kenya on part of a Commonwealth Tour representing her father, who couldn’t do the tour because of his health. She was informed in Kenya that her beloved father had died, and she was, the moment he died, The Queen.
