Many of you may remember the Diamond Jubilee celebrations last year. The difference between the Diamond Jubilee and this year's 60th Coronation anniversary is to do with when the crown was physically placed on the Queen's head. Although Queen Elizabeth II wasn't formally crowned until June 2, 1953, she immediately became Britain's monarch upon the death of her father, King George VI, on February 6, 1952, hence why there are two celebrations!
'The Queen was accompanied by more than 20 members of her family, including the Duke of Edinburgh.' [...] 'Other royals present include Prince Harry, the Duke of York, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, Lady Louise Windsor, the Princess Royal and Zara Phillips with her husband, rugby player Mike Tindall.'1
