The book is divided into four sections, each covering a different decade of the Queen's reign. The first section, "The Early Years," features photographs of the young princess Elizabeth, her coronation in 1953, and her early years as Queen. The second section, "The Swinging Sixties," captures the excitement and optimism of the 1960s, with photographs of the Queen meeting with world leaders, attending the Beatles' performance at the Royal Variety Show, and opening the new London Underground line.

The third section, "The Troubles and Triumphs of the 1970s and 1980s," covers a more challenging period in the Queen's reign, with the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the Falklands War, and the miners' strike. However, the section also highlights some of the Queen's greatest triumphs, such as her Silver Jubilee in 1977 and her visit to China in 1986.

The fourth section, "The Golden Years," covers the Queen's reign from the 1990s to the present day. This section features photographs of the Queen meeting with world leaders, attending royal weddings and funerals, and celebrating her Golden Jubilee in 2002 and her Diamond Jubilee in 2012. The section also includes a special tribute to the Queen's late husband, Prince Philip, who died in 2021.

Throughout the book, there are fascinating insights into the Queen's life and work. The authors have interviewed royal experts, historians, and people who have worked closely with the Queen. The book also includes a wealth of archival material, such as letters, diaries, and speeches.

This commemorative book is a beautiful and lasting tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. It is a must-have for anyone who wants to learn more about her life and legacy.
