Today marks The Queen's Sapphire Jubilee


It has been 65 years since Her Majesty acceded to the throne.

On 6 February 1952, King George VI sadly died following a prolonged illness. 
 Princess Elizabeth immediately acceded to the throne, becoming Queen Elizabeth II and taking on all of the responsibilities which came with her new title.

In the photograph, The Queen is wearing a suite of sapphire jewellery given to her by King George VI as a wedding gift in 1947.

    I saw many of the jewels at the Tower of London when I went 3 years ago. It was sooo amazing ! All the crowns, the jawels.. I gazed at the jewels in wonder !!
