In 2012 the Diamond¹ Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II was celebrated. A lot of events devoted to the Jubilee took place in the UK and abroad: different countries were visited by the Queen and other members of the Royal² Family, big lunches were given across the UK, people were asked to share their stories of the last 60 years to make a digital gift to Her Majesty the Queen. What makes her such a special person?

Queen Elizabeth has been on the throne for over 60 years. She was born in London in April 1926. Her father came to the throne as George VI in 1936. Young Elizabeth and her sister Margaret were educated at home. Her studies mostly included history, language, literature and music. People who knew her as a child remember her love of animals, especially dogs and horses. They described her as a very responsible, sensible and well-behaved girl.

During the Second World War Princess Elizabeth trained as a driver and mechanic [mɪˈkænɪk] because she wanted to help her country and give a good example. In 1947, Princess Elizabeth married Prince Philip, her third cousin, with whom she had been in love since the age of 13. With her husband she had four children: Charles, Anne, Andrew and Edward.

She came to the throne after her father’s death in 1952. The time she was a Queen was not cloudless. It included a number of local wars, problems in her children’s families, the death of her daughter-in-law Diana, Princess of Wales. The Queen had to face criticism [ˈkrɪtɪsɪzm] of the Royal Family from the press, but she is still a very popular monarch. People respect her for her devotion to her country and all the work she does for it. Everyone knows about the Queen’s sense of duty, her unselfishness and wisdom. Many people believe that she is a unique [juˈni:k] personality as well as a sucessful head of the state.
