and The Life of Queen Elizabeth II
As we mourn the loss of a popular public figure, it’s important that trusted adults feel able to help children and young people cope with grief. To assist you and our school community, NOS have prepared a special free guide with practical advice on supporting children during this potentially upsetting period.
In their second guide this week, NOS take a look back at the remarkable life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II – with a timeline charting the major landmarks, and quirkier events, of Her Majesty’s 70 years on the throne.
With the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the UK lost its longest-serving monarch and a sovereign who calmly but firmly guided the country through some challenging times. As the nation, the Commonwealth and the wider world mourns the passing of a true stateswoman, we look back on The Queen’s eventful reign with this commemorative timeline. Young people may be intrigued to see from our poster some of the major – and quirkier – events that unfolded during Queen Elizabeth’s rule, from the end of wartime rationing and the rise of television to England’s 1966 World Cup win and the Olympics coming to London.
