Re: Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Beacon in Pakistan
In 1953 when she was coronated, one of the titles pronounced on her was still Queen of Pakistan (though not of India any longer). Her coronation clothes included symbols of all the countries she was Queen of - the Pakistani government designated a bundle of jute to represent Pakistan on there.
Interestingly enough, as a result of the coronation celebrations that year, there was one day in 1953 when all of the soldiers guarding and parading at Buckingham Palace, her residence in London, were from the Pakistan Army.
