Year 1953 (MCMLIII) was a common year starting on Thursday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar.
Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; born 21 April 1926) is the constitutional monarch of 16 sovereign states known as the Commonwealth realms, and head of the 54-member Commonwealth of Nations. She is also head of state of the Crown Dependencies.
Elizabeth was born in London, and educated privately at home. Her father acceded to the throne as George VI in 1936 on the abdication of his brother Edward VIII. She began to undertake public duties during the Second World War, in which she served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. On the death of her father in 1952, she became Head of the Commonwealth and queen regnant of seven independent Commonwealth countries: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon. Her coronation service in 1953 was the first to be televised. Between 1956 and 1992, the number of her realms varied as territories gained independence and some realms became republics. Today, in addition to the first four aforementioned countries, Elizabeth is Queen of Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis.
On that snowy bright December day
She came and took my breath away
It was there I met my love so fair
A beauty oh so true and rare
Chorus:
For who we are and what we'll be
I'ii sing your praise eternally
When I was lost you carried on
When I was weak you kept us strong
You walk the line so gracefully
Of friendship, love and loyality
In troubled time you did your best
Of lesser strenght I must confess
Repeat Chorus--
As seasons come and seasons pass
The bond we know will always last
We built a life remaining true
I pledge my heart and soul to you
Fo who we are and what we'll be
I'll sing your praise eternally
The miles we've shared I'd trade but few
They're the ones thet kept me away from you
On that snowy bright December day
You came and took my breath away
It was there I met my love so fair
A beauty oh so true and rare
