From Wikipedia: The coronation usually takes place several months after the death of the previous monarch, as it is considered a joyous occasion that would be inappropriate when mourning still continues. This also gives planners enough time to complete the elaborate arrangements required. For example, Elizabeth II was crowned on 2 June 1953, despite having ascended the throne on 6 February 1952, the instant her father died. The throne is not left vacant and the new monarch succeeds the old one immediately.
Here endeth the lesson...   |
Does that mean she might be back next year too? 
I wonder if she'll send herself an ofiicial letter of congratulations -my mum sent off for one for my grandparents diamond anniversary...she could always get one of her ladies in waiting to sign it.
