Coffee Break: Queen songs
by Anna Reed
February 06, 2017
Today in 1952, King George VI of Great Britain and Northern Ireland passed away and Princess Elizabeth, the oldest of his two daughters, was crowned Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 27.
A reign of 65 years on the British throne is known as a Sapphire Jubilee, and Queen Elizabeth is the first monarch ever to reach this achievement. At 90 years old, she's given up many of her queenly duties to others and will be spending the day at her private estate. Who knows? Maybe she'll walk around wearing this fabulous neon green outfit from her 90th birthday celebrations.
So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that mention "queen" in the lyrics?
