Queen Elizabeth Is 70 years On The Throne

Queen Elizabeth II is marking 70 years on the British throne.

On this day February 6, 1952, the beautiful, 25-year-old Elizabeth was first crowned, Queen of England, following the death of her father.

Over the years, her reign has witnessed the inauguration of and tenure end of World leaders and historic events around the world. 

Today, Sunday, she is expected to mark her seven decades on the British throne, as she does every year, in quiet reflection.

She didn't plan on putting on the crown so soon. Her father, King George VI, had been gravely ill when he waved her and her husband, Philip, off on a royal tour the year before.

Her coronation became the first major international event broadcast live on TV – a burst of pageantry in post-war Britain that thrust the young queen onto a throne of privilege, stardom and responsibility.  

Over the past seven decades, Queen Elizabeth – now 95 – has overseen the transition from Britain's imperial past to a more modern monarchy.

The Queen has ruled for longer than any other Monarch in British history, becoming a much loved and respected figure across the globe. Known for her sense of duty and her devotion to a life of service, she has been an important figurehead for the UK and the Commonwealth during times of enormous social change.

Inspiration

Be Inspired! A very poor woman called a radio station asking for help from God. A non-believer who was also listening to this radio program decided to make fun of the woman. He got the woman's address from the radio station and told his secretary to carry a large amount of foodstuff to the woman.  However, he gave the following instruction; "When the woman asks who sent the food, tell her that it's from the devil." When the secretary arrived at the woman's house, the woman was happy and grateful for the help received. She started putting the food packets inside her small house.  The secretary then asked her, "Don't you want to know who sent the food?" The woman replied, "No, I don't care... because when GOD orders, even the DEVIL obeys! Have a blessed day ahead. 🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣 Image: iStock
