Come June 2, the United Kingdom will celebrate the 53rd anniversary of the crowning of the most respected woman in the country - Queen Elizabeth II. Almost five decades ago, the spectators at the roads to the
Buckingham palace, the households, the hospitals, the radio and television stations witnessed this event. Anyone who has seen the ceremony will definitely say that it is, by far, the most elegant and grandiose event of the 1950's, and perhaps, of the century.
The most unforgettable scenario during those times was the unity of the British people. Ever since the coronation of the
first Queen Elizabeth, Britain has underwent several chaotic situations, all of which it strove to survived. The procession proved to be the most solemn one. That was also the time when Prince Charles was still a kid, and the Queen had to sit right next to him. The boy, overly excited about this ceremony, waved to the people a couple of times more than his mother. Of course, we cannot set aside the beautiful gown that the Queen wore. She had the most precious cloak, wore the most elegant gown and jewels. The crown itself is a national treasure, and for a woman to wear it is definitely a privilege.
This astounding ceremony will once again be simulcast all around the world. I just hope that I will get to watch it in real time before newspapers feast on the occasion. Although the ceremony will never be re-enacted, still the grand rite will be featured in the documentaries. I expect this because so far, Queen Elizabeth is the most famous personage in the country.
