Queen Elizabeth’s life was filled with experiences, occasions and traditions that few of us could ever begin to imagine and so many of them were captured in pictures over the years.

Having surpassed Queen Victoria as Britain’s longest-serving monarch in 2015, the late Queen Elizabeth cemented her place in history once again when she marked her Platinum Jubilee in June 2022. Throughout Queen Elizabeth’s life her unwavering dedication to her duties was an inspiration and she displayed thoughtfulness, leadership, and warmth. 

On 8th September the immediate and extended Royal Family along with fans across the world will likely be reflecting upon Queen Elizabeth’s extraordinary legacy on the first anniversary of her death. Whilst King Charles is honouring this date “quietly and privately”, he has shared a touching tribute to his mother on social media. 

As the royals and fans reflect upon Her Majesty’s extraordinary legacy, we’re looking back at Queen Elizabeth’s life in pictures that show just how momentous her reign truly was, from her coronation to her many Jubilees.

Settling down to watch Queen Elizabeth’s Christmas Day speech was a tradition for many families, but it wasn’t always the case. Her Majesty’s first televised festive broadcast actually only went out in December 1957, four years after her coronation.  Up until then, fans could enjoy the monarch’s reflections on the past year via radio, but there was nothing quite like seeing the Queen delivering her words of wisdom to the nation. This is something even the monarch appeared to agree with as she is said to have expressed her hope in her first televised speech that they’d be more “personal” going forwards.
