Coronation of Queen Elizabeth IIPrint Page 
Trees commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in June 1953. Four trees were planted but only two have survived.
The coronation of Elizabeth 11 took place on 2 June 1953 at Westminster Abbey in London. She acceded to the throne at the age of 25 upon the death of her father, George VI, on 6 February 1952, being proclaimed queen by her privy and executive councils shortly afterwards. The coronation was held more than one year later because of the tradition of allowing an appropriate length of time to pass after a monarch dies before holding such festivals
Queen Elizabeth II (21 April 1926 – 8 September 2022) was the longest serving English monarch, who reigned from 6 February 1952 to 8 September 2022 a period of over 70 years.
Note: The park is known as Coronation Park.
