60 Photos, 60 Years

To celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, the Royal Collection has opened The Queen: 60 Photographs For 60 Years in The Drawings Gallery, Windsor Castle. This photo shows Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the Imperial State Crown and carrying the orb and sceptre, returning to Buckingham Palace in the Gold State Coach following her Coronation in Westminster Abbey on 2 June 1953.
