The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II took place on June 2, 1953, more than a year after she actually took the throne as Queen of United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Ceylon as well as Head of the Commonwealth and Supreme Governor of the Church of England.

The ceremony, which was held at Westminster Abbey, took a total of 16 months to prepare for and was the first major international event to be televised. 8,000 guests were invited to the ceremony and 20 million viewers watched the event at home.

I was playing around with gif-making and may have made something quite scary. Don’t mind me.

1. Tea contains antioxidants. Antioxidants can help slow down the aging process, and help cells regenerate and repair.  Many studies suggest antioxidants also assist our bodies in preventing cancer.
2. Tea can lower stress hormone levels. Black tea can reduce the effects of stressful events by lowering the amount of the stress hormone cortisol in the body.
3. Tea fights cavities and reduces plaque. Compounds in tea are capable of killing or suppressing growth and acid production of cavity causing bacteria in our mouths.
4. Tea keeps you hydrated. Every cup of tea you drink, especially low or no caffeine varieties, counts as a cup of water with the added bonus of providing antioxidants as well.
5. Tea may reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack. Tea can help prevent formation of dangerous blood clots which are often the cause of strokes and heart attacks.
6. Tea can help lower blood pressure. Drinking green tea daily can reduce your risk of hypertension by up to 50%.
7. Tea aids your body in digestion. Tea has been used for thousands of years as an after-meal digestive aid.  It can also help relieve stomach cramps.
8. Tea may help prevent diabetes. There is some evidence to suggest that green tea might help to lower the risk of getting Type 2 Diabetes.
9. Tea can help beat bacteria. An Egyptian study testing the effects of green tea on antibiotics found the tea to enhance the bacteria killing effects of the drugs.
10. Tea aids your immune defenses. A study comparing the immune activity levels of coffee drinkers vs. tea drinkers found the tea drinkers to have levels up to five times higher.

Delicious tea.

✈ Where I most want to go.
I want to go to Castle Howard and pretend I am a romantic figure from a declining aristocracy. I want to go to New Zealand and pretend I am a hobbit on a magical quest. I want to go to New York and pretend I am a 1920s socialite seeking adventure. I live life in a perpetual fantasy!
