The Queen succeeded to the Throne shortly after her first Canadian tour, when she stood in for her father, in late 1951.
Feb. 6 marks the official start of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year.
The Queen succeeded at the moment of the death in 1952 of her father, George VI. As Princess Elizabeth, she was in Kenya at the start of an extensive Commonwealth Tour. As she was not with her parents and sister at the time and place, over the past 70 years, she has wished to be at Sandringham on this day in remembrance of him and in private contemplation.
