ELIZABETH : ACROSTIC
Dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II
E namored queen, elegant, eloquent
L ongest reigning British monarch (7 decades)
Lilibet was her nickname ( named herself when, as a child,
she couldn't pronounce Elizabeth),
loved her corgis
I rish guards protected her estates, Irish wolf hound (royal mascot)
Z ealous about her duties
A bdication by her Uncle Edward VIII made her heiress to the throne
B uckingham Palace was her royal residence in London
Balmoral Castle in Scotland was her favorite summer residence
E xceptionally loyal to British subjects and all colonists
Extensively traveled to visit even the smallest colonies
T rooping the Colour has celebrated the official birthday of the British
Sovereign for over 260 years. This excellent display of military
precision, sportsmanship and fanfare involving 1400 parading
soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians occurs in June.
Queen Elizabeth's birthday was actually on April 2.
H eritage: descended from King George V and his wife, Queen Mary,

A/N I actually saw the young Queen Elizabeth in person with Prince Phillip
in Sydney Cricket Ground (Australia) in 1953 when, shortly after the
coronation, they were on tour. I was with my primary school class and
our teacher. I thought she was beautiful and I admired her forever. They
were such a handsome couple. May they rest in peace. ~ gail
