was recognized as the new monarch of the United Kingdom, and seven decades later, became the longest-reigning British monarch in royal history.
On February 6, 1952, when she was just 25 years old, then-Princess Elizabeth's father, King George VI, passed away, and she, therefore, rose to the throne. On June 2 of the following year, the young new monarch became formally crowned as queen of the U.K. The three-hour coronation procession was held at Westminster Abbey and marked the official start to her 70-year reign.
In a broadcast on that historic evening in 1953, the freshly anointed queen famously vowed to the public, "I have in sincerity pledged myself to your service, as so many of you are pledged to mine. Throughout all my life and with all my heart I shall strive to be worthy of your trust."
