Today marks the 62nd anniversary of The Queen's Coronation. Her Majesty was crowned on 2 June 1953 at Westminster Abbey, the year following Her accession on 6 February 1952.
The Coronation was a solemn religious ceremony where The Queen undertook to rule according to law, to exercise justice with mercy - promises symbolised by the four swords in the Coronation Regalia (the Crown Jewels) - and to maintain the Church of England as part of her Coronation Oath.
The day was also an occasion for pageantry and celebrations throughout the UK, the Realms and the Commonwealth. Watch a film from the day on our official YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/1FojcIX
