Elizabeth II turns 60 years in reign: celebrations at Windsor Castle

Elizabeth II of England on June 2 celebrates 60 years as queen, the second to reach 60 years of reign in the history of the British monarchy. In fact, so much time has passed since way back on June 2, 1952 when Her Majesty Elizabeth was crowned in a magnificent ceremony at Westminster Abbey, a true Christian Coronation.

The celebrating archbishop was firm in maintaining the traditional medieval character to be followed during the investiture service. Nevertheless, it was the first time that TV was allowed to participate and broadcast footage of a ritual that has become a piece of contemporary history.

After the Coronation, she and Philip moved to Buckingham Palace in central London. Like many of her predecessors, however, she can be found spending much of her time at Windsor Castle, located in West London, which is considered home proper by all British monarchs. Queen Elizabeth II often chooses to spend many weekends of the year at the castle, using it for both state and private meetings.

Different ambits, but very versatile. Even for those who do not have a royal residence like Elizabeth.
