Queen Elizabeth II's 1953 Coronation Day reaches 67th anniversary
The Royal Family's Instagram account shared a post in honour of the Queen's milestone. It revealed some interesting facts about Coronation Day tradition.
"Queen Elizabeth II was crowned on 2 June, 1953 in Westminster Abbey. Her Majesty was the thirty-ninth Sovereign to be crowned at Westminster Abbey, the setting for every Coronation since 1066," the post reads.
"Whilst an occasion for celebration, The Queen's Coronation was a solemn, religious ceremony that lasted almost three hours. The service has remained essentially the same for over 1,000 years."
The post was accompanied by a Coronation portrait of the Queen.
