Princess Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth II on 6th February 1952. 6th February 2022 is the 70th anniversary.

George VI had died on 6th February 1952. So the day itself is not a day of celebration.

The Coronation took place over a year later on 2nd June 1953.

To celebrate the jubilee, events will take place during the year, including the bun throwing in Abingdon in June.
