Tuesday, June 2, 1953
At 5.42pm last night, the Queen, cheered by a crowd 150,000 strong, stepped out on to the famous balcony at Buckingham Palace after her Coronation her beloved husband right behind her.
As soon as the windows leading on to the Palace balcony were opened, Prince Charles, wearing a Coronation medal, and Princess Anne darted out, waving excitedly.
Then came the Queen the Imperial State Crown still on her head; the golden bracelets of Sincerity and Wisdom still on her arms; her deep purple robe of State trailing behind her. Philip followed her first. Then the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret, the Princess Royal, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester with Prince William and Prince Richard, the Duchess of Kent with the young Duke of Kent in his crimson and ermine robe, and other members of the Royal Family.
