serve as a queen but when her uncle king edward viii abdicated to marry an american divorcee. her father had to take the throne putting her next in line. her coronation in 1953 became the first major international event broadcast live on tv. a burst of pageantry in post-war britain that thrust the young queen into position of privilege. >> with my whole life, whether it's been long or short, be devoted to your service. >> and responsibility. polls suggest the queen remains very popular, as the u.k. prepares to officially celebrate her platinum jubilee with stamps, souvenirs, and four days of festivities in june. those events will include a military parade, street parties and a concert here at buckingham palace. but it today the queen is marking herself seven decades on the throne as she does every year, in quiet reflen. jericka.
