A great book to commemorate the life of Our Queen. A must have for those who’re interested in OUR history as a nation. And a keepsake for generations to come.

This is a really well presented book that looks great on the bookshelf and I believe it is excellent value for money – looks far more expensive than it actually is. Lovely range of photographs with an interesting explanation to go with each. Have just purchased the King Charles version too and would recommend both – great for fans of the Royal Family, portrait photography or both.

Lovely book. Bought one for a relative who was so delighted I bought another for someone else. Not to my interest but both recipients were very happy.

I have to apologise for leaving this review so long. I cannot see the point in writing a review when pictures have been enjoyed and the book has been read.
I bought nearly 8 books on the Queen, most of them bigger then this one. Only 151 pages from her Ɓirth Princess, Queen and Icon. This book is Outstanding and very beautiful. The sepia photos are absolutely gorgeous. Some of my very favourites. At the same time as this purchase I bought a book, one I will recommend later.
So, before you spend that £30 on your QUEEN ELIZABETH book at least buy this very well priced book. FINALLY this book was Introduced by Alexandra Shulman.
Oh just one more thing, I think we are all aware that the Queen was most happy on Her Majesty’s Yacht Britanna. I have never seen the Queen so happy. She was splitting her sides at something. I believe Patrick Lichfield ( I bet he was proud of this one and most probably reluctant to parting with it ) Here, writing about this one photograph of many I don’t know if I am happy or sad. Was the place she loved so dearly going to be taken off her. ( or was “advised ” to give her up. Sorry, bit of my bitterness coming in. )
So a beautiful book, with Amazon keeping the price as low as possible, with wonderful photographs and written explanation. AMAZON…..THANK YOU.
