Elizabeth II acceded to the throne at the age of 25 upon the death of her father, George VI, on February 6, 1952. She was proclaimed queen by her privy and executive councils shortly afterwards.

Her coronation took place on June 2, 1953 at Westminster Abbey in London. It was ground-breaking in its own right. The first ever to be televised, it was watched by 27 million people in the UK alone and millions more audiences around the world.

Even before she became Queen, the princess Elizabeth pledged her life to the service of her country, the Commonwealth and its people.

On her 21st birthday, April 21, 1947, she was with her parents and younger sister Margaret on a tour of South Africa.

In a speech broadcast on the radio from Cape Town, the Princess dedicated her life to the service of the Commonwealth.

The closing declaration was: “I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.”
