Queen Elizabeth II by Brooke S.

Queen Elizabeth II

Presented by Brooke Theresa Caroline S.

The person I researched was Queen Elizabeth II of England. I picked her because I learned from my mom that Queen Elizabeth II was one of my grandmother’s favorite people.

My birthday is April 21, 1926. I was born in England. When I was young, I did not go to school, I had a tutor. A tutor is somebody that teaches you at your house. When I went on field trips, I went to museums like the British Museum. Before I became Queen, I struggled like everyone in England during World War II. One day my parents took me to Windsor Castle and all you could hear was WeWoo, WeWoo from the ambulance sirens. England was being bombed by the Germans and almost lost the war to Germany. This is when I decided to help my people.

I am famous and special for many reasons. When I became queen, 20 million people watched my coronation on TV. A coronation is a ceremony that makes people kings and queens. I was the first Queen to send their kids to a public school. I also went into the military to help my country and have also been on the throne the longest (60 years).
