The Queen & Us- Followmy.tv

When Princess Elizabeth became Queen in 1952, Britain was a very different place. The country was broke and still living on rations in bombed-out towns and cities. After years of post-war austerity, the coronation of Elizabeth II held the promise of a brighter future for us all. Televised live, it was watched by 20 million across the UK and would forever unite us with the Queen in times of celebration and tragedy.
