God Save the Queen
The young, newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II is seen on the cover of "Picture Post" in a world famous image.
The crown weighed seven pounds, which was not an easy weight for Her Majesty to carry easily, so she practiced wearing it prior to Coronation Day, so that it might not be such a physically testing day when it was placed upon her head.
