A tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

“I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.”

When Princess Elizabeth spoke those words during a broadcast to the Commonwealth on her 21st birthday, 21st April 1947, none of the millions of people around the world who listened to her eager, softly spoken voice could have imagined just how conscientiously she would keep that promise during the next 70 years.
