The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II (1952)

The number of television sets in Britain are reported to have doubled in the lead up to the coronation in anticipation of the event.

At the time of her coronation, the Queen was, in addition to the UK, Queen of 25 other realms. Over the following years however, many of them, including Pakistan, South Africa, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Kenya (where she had been pronounced Queen), Malta and many others became Republics.
