Context: The George VI and Queen Elizabeth Memorial, situated between The Mall and Carlton Gardens in central London, is a memorial to King George VI and his consort, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.  Completed in its present form in 2009, the memorial incorporates an earlier, Grade II-listed statue of George VI by William McMillan, unveiled by his daughter Queen Elizabeth II in 1955.  The reconfigured memorial, which includes a statue of the Queen Mother by Philip Jackson, relief sculpture by Paul Day and an architectural setting by Donald Buttress and Donald Insall, was unveiled by Elizabeth II in 2009.

The longest-reigning monarch in British history, Queen Elizabeth II was the first British monarch to have a sapphire jubilee.  This Jubilee featured blue stamps from the Royal Mail, commemorative coins from the Royal Mint, and a reissue of an official 2014 portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by David Bailey.  In this official portrait the Queen wears sapphire jewellery which she received as a wedding present from her father.  The Jubilee also involved a gun salute at the Tower of London, a gun salute in Green Park, gun salutes in several other places around the United Kingdom, and the ringing of the bells in Westminster Abbey.  Theresa May, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, congratulated Queen Elizabeth II in regard to the occasion, saying in part, "I know the nation will join with me today in celebrating and giving thanks for the lifetime of service Her Majesty the Queen has given to our country and to the Commonwealth."

The Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II was a multinational celebration throughout 2012, that marked the 60th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth II on 6 February 1952.  Queen Elizabeth is queen regnant of 16 sovereign states, known as Commonwealth realms, including the United Kingdom.  The only other time in British history that a monarch celebrated a Diamond Jubilee was in 1897, when Queen Victoria celebrated hers. The Australian State Coach is an enclosed, six horse-drawn carriage used by the British Royal Family.  The coach was presented to Queen Elizabeth II of Australia and the United Kingdom as the official gift on the occasion of the Australian Bicentennial on 8 May 1988, and first used in November of that year at the State Opening of Parliament.  The coach was a gift from the Australian people and was designed and built by the coach builder W. J. Frecklington who subsequently built the Diamond Jubilee State Coach for Queen Elizabeth II as a private initiative.  The Australian State Coach is sometimes used at the British State Opening of Parliament and other state occasions involving the Australian or foreign royal families, such as the visit of Queen Margrethe of Denmark in 2000.  As one of the most modern of the royal carriages, the coach is fitted with electric windows, heating and hydraulic stabilisers; it is therefore regularly used for such occasions.  The Australian State Coach is usually kept at the Royal Mews, where it can be viewed by the public.
