'Queen Elizabeth II - Longest reigning monarch' One Crown

Queen Elizabeth II is the longest reigning monarch in British history - and many collectors are looking for special commemoratives to document her long and successful reign.

The 'Crowning Ceremony' took place exactly as it is laid down in the history books, and when the St. Edward's Crown was placed on The Queen's head the whole country joined in celebration. Later in the evening, following the service, The Queen made a broadcast to the nation reflecting on the events of the day, thanking the public for their support and promising to serve the nation.

'I am sure that this, my Coronation, is not the symbol of a power and a splendour that are gone but a declaration of our hopes for the future, and for the years I may, by God's Grace and Mercy, be given to reign and serve you as your Queen'.
