Proclamation - The Actual Document. Shown here is the second - and concluding - part of the original Proclamation of the accession of Queen Elizabeth II, copies of which have been read throughout Britain and the Commonwealth. Standing out boldly in the third column of signatures is that of Mr. Anthony Eden. The document concludes with the words 'God Save the Queen' and the King's seal (the new Queen's seal not yet having been made). February 8, 1952. (Photo by Reuterphoto).
