伊丽莎白-亚历山德拉-玛丽(Elizabeth Alexandra Mary),或称 "莉贝特",于1926年4月21日在伦敦出生。 她从未被期望登上王位,因为她的父亲是国王乔治五世的小儿子。然而在他的兄弟温莎公爵爱德华八世退位后,她的父亲于1936年作为国王乔治六世登上了王位。

与她的父母一样,伊丽莎白在第二次世界大战期间积极参与战争,在被称为 "辅助国土服务 "的英国军队的妇女部门服役,接受司机和机械师的培训。 伊丽莎白和她的姐姐玛格丽特在VE日匿名加入伦敦拥挤的街道,庆祝战争的结束。

她嫁给了她的表弟希腊的菲利普王子,即后来的爱丁堡公爵,他们有四个孩子:查尔斯、安妮、安德鲁和爱德华。

她的父亲乔治六世于1952年去世后,伊丽莎白成为七个英联邦国家的女王:英国、加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰、南非、巴基斯坦和锡兰(现称斯里兰卡)。

伊丽莎白在1953年的加冕仪式是第一个被电视转播的仪式,有助于提高该媒体的知名度,并使英国的电视许可证数量翻倍。

钻石纪念日庆祝活动

维多利亚女王在她的钻石庆典日在圣保罗教堂前。

1897年,维多利亚女王为庆祝她的钻石庆典,在伦敦举行了盛大的钻石庆典游行,其中包括皇室成员和来自帝国各地的军队。 游行过程中,在圣保罗大教堂外举行了露天感恩仪式,整个过程中,年迈的女王一直坐在她的敞篷马车里。

英国女王伊丽莎白二世的钻石庆典将包括6月5日的额外银行假日。 由于5月末的银行假日被移至6月4日,这将创造一个4天的周末假日。

本周末的庆祝活动将包括6月3日的泰晤士河钻石庆典,由女王的皇家驳船 "Gloriana "带领的约1000艘船队。 6月4日,在白金汉宫外将举行钻石庆典音乐会,之前还有一个花园派对。
