In photos – the Queen’s accession to the throne
TODAY, the Queen today marked the 60th anniversary of her accession to the throne. It’s the formal start of her Diamond Jubilee. Yippee! Sure. It was also the anniversary of the death of her father. The joy is marked with personal loss. Sixty years have passed. Anorak goes back to the day in photos. A young, attractive woman had accepted the call. One question: what does the Queen stand for? Personally and in public…what values does he uphold?

This portrait shows their Royal Highnesses in the drawing room of their London residence, Clarence House. Princess Elizabeth wears an afternonn dress of slate-blue figured silk with a square neckline and cross-over bodice. The skirt is immensely full and is held out by a stiffened underskirt. The bow-shaped diamond brooch was a wedding present from her Majesty Queen Mary. The Duke of Edingburgh is wearing a navy blue lounge suit with the tie of the Royal Navy.
