The Times The Queen and the Commonwealth

A beautifully presented gift book this Christmas

Our most travelled monarch covered well over 1,000,000 miles and visited 117 countries during her reign. From New Zealand to Barbados, we look back at Queen Elizabeth’s most memorable Commonwealth visits. While the Commonwealth itself has endured the challenges of a changing society over the last seven decades, one constant always remained: Queen Elizabeth. Explore the nature of this evolving relationship through The Times archives, with striking full-colour photographs and authoritative accounts of news stories as they unfolded across the globe.

In this beautifully designed volume you’ll find: • Timelines for each decade of state visits, from the 1950s to the 2010s • Striking, full-colour photographs of Queen Elizabeth on tour • Articles from The Times archives, reporting on events as they unfolded

The world's most prestigious and authoritative maps and atlases.
