SIXTY years ago tomorrow a young Elizabeth Windsor was crowned Queen at Westminster Abbey

◼ Queen’s Elizabeth II 1953 - 2013: Coronation 60 years tomorrow - thesun.co.uk

Although Elizabeth had succeeded her father King George VI on his death the year before, it was not until June 2, 1953, that she was crowned.

And as the world watched, dazzled by the ancient rituals and awe-inspiring pomp, the 26-year-old made a solemn promise to serve her country.

There were 8,250 crammed into Westminster Abbey, a further three million people lining the streets of London, and in homes across the land an estimated 27 million saw the first ever televised Coronation.

Here royal expert William Shawcross pays tribute to our monarch, while The Sun’s Royal Photographer Arthur Edwards, who was 12 at the time of the Coronation, shares his memories of that special day.
