Elizabeth became queen on the death of her father,
King George VI, who passed away on 6 February
1952 when she was in Kenya -
Prince Philip learning the news first from a reporter
after the coded message failed to arrive.
Commenorating this date the Queen said
"As I look ahead with a sense of hope and optimism
to the year of my Platinum Jubilee,
I am reminded of how much we can be thankful for,"
The March
The opening heralds that fateful message given to her and the first
minor section (A) is the frantic journey back to be
with her people.
Section (B) is joyous and celebrates welcoming her
as our monach.
Section (C) is a fanfaric reminder of the coronation
before section (D) is the long years of reign through
many highs and lows her service has remained faithful
to her people.
Section (E) brings us summoned to Buckingham Palace
and the last last section repeats the hope she brings
to the country with a final bass drum as a salute at the end.
