The crowning of Elizabeth II was witnessed by people around the world who were privileged to have a television set. As a child, Elizabeth had not expected to become Queen but the abdication of her uncle Edward VIII, put her in line for the throne when she was 10.  As a teenager, she enlisted in the Women's War Services where she became a second Lieutenant who repaired and drove trucks.
