Coronation of Queen Elizabeth the Second in 1953 (Part 2/7)

Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II (Part 2) Date: June 2, 1953 In Westminster Abbey, where English kings and queens have been crowned for 900 years, Elizabeth triumphantly receives her crown on June 2, 1953. Indeed, there were more than 200 microphones in the Abbey and along the procession routes, with 750 commentators broadcasting in 39 languages. The Archbishop of Canterbury administers the Oath, and presents „Queen Elizabeth, your undoubted Queen,“ meaning by hereditary right. The people respond with shouts of „God Save Queen Elizabeth.“ Elizabeth solemnly promised and swore „to govern the People of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Union of South Africa, Pakistan and Ceylon.“ The procession of the royal coach through Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace is a spectacle unlike any England has ever seen.

  1. @valocilf Of course he is a decent guy! But he declined being a member of free masonry! Now guess what…
    No wonder he’s so harmed in the media since he decided not to become a freemason, like most of his kins! He is, truely, a very, very, very decent guy, regardless of some quirks he might also have…

  2. QUE PAYASADAS SON ESTAS VENDITO ACA NO TENEMOS A ESTOS PARASITOS.

  3. The evil empire, huh huh huh

  4. Britain is a wonderful country deserves for not hereditary head of state…
    Some people would say that the monarchy made her great… no. The people made her great. The nation made her great.

  5. @iancmcintyre I’m not saying she was chosen for her gender I’m talking about the generations before her. When they only wanted males to rule, that because the you’re a female you’re not as fit to rule as a male

  6. @LangBellsChannel i dont think so was choosen for her gender she was just born a chick just like you. basically however you pop out that’s what the people get.

  7. A MESSAGE TO HER ROYALTY THE QUEEN ENGLAND,

  8. @TheAnglopride Yes exactly, I am a brit I know where policies are debated.Haha, mate,referring to sharia law, yes that’s complete bollocks. Realistically,that’s never going to happen here in Britain.It’s not that the monarchy are doing anything to prevent it. It’s the parliamentary structure and the way policies are made. I mean I seem like a nutter when I say the monarchy are just figureheads, who, in the 21st Century aren’t really needed. Just my opinion, and I just think it’s really a farce.

  9. @agcronaldo17 firstly, britain does have a democratic institution where economic policies are debated, its called Parliament. secondly, plenty of people speak out against them, Cherie Blair was a well known republican, and there are thousands of muslim fanatics in britain who call for the overthrow of the monarchy and the introduction of an islamic republic with sharia law. as an athiest you should be thrilled by that.

  10. @valocilf
    i dont know much about him, but i do know that he’s strongly involved into environment guarding and he warns about the risks of nanotechnology, not many people think about the consequences of nanotechnology yet.

  11. Also i cannot see how people still bow down and have their jaws dropped when they talk about the queen and her family. I mean they’re all good, and the lads, william and (i forgot the other one) are gentlemen and stuff. But we do need a reality check, it’s the 21st century, and it seems bizarre we go gaga over people with fancy hats and they’re other palatial stuff which should be really in the hands of the brit people. Not to mention the kohinoor diamond, which we stole amongst other things.

  12. My family used to and are staunch pro-royalist. I’m probably the only one arguing against. When we have a democratic institution in place, where economic and other policies are debated DEMOCRATICALLY, i think the whole royal thing is just a farce. Nobody dares to speak up against them in public (including myself). The royal family has just become a feeding house to the magz and papaz who are a dying industry. I despise us singing ‘god save the queen’ and always cringe cause im an atheist too.

  13. that woman moves like a snale

  14. all hail the queen of England by the way I’m not English/British or however you call it I just love her so much because of what I just heard she was doing lettting a female rule rather then choosing a male because of his gender
    EMPOWERMENT!!!!

  15. @TheAnglopride
    thanks :)

  16. i think one of the ladies in waiting is winston churchill’s daughter

  17. @QueenWaterLily do you mean the man in the navy uniform following behind the queen? he is the groom of the robes, captain sir harold campbell

  18. Who is the tall man in the dark clothes ?

  19. Yeah, I do alot of reading on the Royal Family, and it is common for „Ladies in Waiting“ to be members of the peerage (the nobility). Originally ladies in waiting were mere companions of the Queen, but in modern times they maintain the wardrobe of the Queen, as was explained below. At any rate I get chills every time I see this. I can’t even imagine what she must have felt.

  20. @baraxor
    Well, I know the Queen and Princess Alexandra both had lady-in-waitings. I’m not sure about the other royal princesses, though. Anyways, thanks for answering my question

  21. @bobby777knight

    „Ladies-in-Waiting“ is the general term for the well-to-do female companions/assistants of the Queen…there’s actually two classes: Ladies of the Bedchamber (who are peeresses) and Women of the Bedchamber (who aren’t peeresses). Formerly, there were also the Maids of Honour (young women of debutante age)

  22. god save the queen and long live the commonwealth i am eggar to enlsit in the royal navy wish me luck :]

  23. @TheAnglopride
    Cheers. I’m sorry you to trouble you with so many questions, but do you happen to know the difference between a lady-in-waiting and a Lady of the Bedchamber?

  24. @bobby777knight hi, i don’t think her role is just ceremonial, i think she also prepares the queen’s jewelry and outfits for official functions (along with the ladies in waiting, who she is in charge of) cheers

  25. @TheAnglopride
    Thanks for the info. Is her role mostly ceremonial or does she actually help on official functions?
