Proclamation of her accession was 6 Feb was recorded in the London Gazette. The Accession Council took place on 8 Feb followed by formal proclamation read out in various places - I am old enough to remember this happening.
It still doesn't alter the fact that her accession happened on 6 Feb on the death of her father. |
Her accession offically, and formally happened on the eighth of February.
That's a historical fact.
Happily we're all agreed that the actual anniversary of this event happened in February, and has nothing at all to do with June.
As to the date, we'll have to agree to disagree.
Though history agrees with me.
