A new edition of the official souvenir publication commemorating the life of Queen Elizabeth II.

First published to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee in 2022, The Queen: 70 Glorious Years commemorates the life of Queen Elizabeth II through photographs chosen to illustrate memorable events in the reign of Britain's longest-serving monarch. Delightfully informal family photographs of The Queen as a young wife and mother enjoying the company of her children and dogs are joined by more formal images illustrating the official life of the monarch on grand state occasions, such as the Coronation, the State Opening of Parliament, and Trooping the Colour--not to mention her memorable encounter with James Bond and her dramatic arrival at the ceremony marking the opening of the 2012 London Olympics. Each photograph is accompanied by resonant quotations from speeches given by The Queen over the years, including her wartime Children's Hour radio broadcast at the age of fourteen, her first televised Christmas Day broadcast in 1957, and her speeches welcoming world leaders to Buckingham Palace or responding to the warm hospitality extended to her on state visits.

This new edition has been fully revised to cover the death and subsequent ceremonials of Queen Elizabeth II. Love of family, fondness for animals, a keen sense of humor, a staunch belief in the Commonwealth as a force for good in the world, and gratitude to all the people around the world who went out of their way to help their communities--these are among the themes that come across from this photographic journey through a remarkable life of duty and service.
