Royal Life: The queen through the years
February 2012
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, waves to wellwishers during a visit to Kings Lynn Town Hall in eastern England Feb. 6, 2012. It has been 60 years to the day since Britain was shocked by the bulletins: "The King is dead; long live the Queen!" -- eight words encapsulated both the news on Feb. 6, 1952, and the British doctrine of monarchy.
