Queen Elizabeth's most defining moments
Producer: Issey Gogoll
Queen Elizabeth II has passed away, aged 96. Her Majesty was the longest reigning monarch in history, sitting on the throne since February 6, 1952. Here’s a look at her most defining moments.
A key defining moment in Elizabeth's life was her 21st birthday speech, fours years before she became Queen, when she made a promise to dedicate her life to royal duties, which she honoured right up until the end.

Another defining moment was Queen Elizabeth II referring to 1992 as “annus horribilis,” a Latin phrase meaning “horrible year", during a speech marking the 40th anniversary of her succession.

Queen Elizabeth's handling of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in August 1997, will always be remembered.

For much of Elizabeth's life, she loved being surrounded by dogs and was especially known for her love of corgis - owning more than 30 descendants of the first corgi she received as a teenager.
She was respected by many, with whole generations not knowing a life without her. The grief of her loss will be felt by millions of people around the world. But her remarkable life and legacy will echo for years to come.
