Today, after nearly a lifetime of service to country and crown, Queen Elizabeth II will commemorate her 65th anniversary as queen. She will become the only British monarch ever to celebrate her Sapphire Jubilee.

The 1953 coronation of Queen Elizabeth II was the world’s first major international event to be broadcast on television. Read more at NBC.
