Wrong.

She was actually only proclaimed Queen on February 6th, on the death of her father, the King.

She didn't formally sign the Accession Declaration, and accede to the throne as Queen until two days later.

February the eighth.

I can see why you don't particularly care when the celebration is.

Any old date will do.
