Rotorua resident Coral Warner, 81, has been a staunch royalist since 1947 when her dad came racing over from the cowshed to tell her Princess Elizabeth's wedding was being broadcast on the radio.
"Then I got a book called, Princess Elizabeth's Wedding Day as a gift."
Since then, Warner hasbeen collecting books and photos of the Queen. She also has clear and dear memories of three of Queen Elizabeth's visits to New Zealand.
"I remember her first visit to New Zealand in 1953. I was going to Reporoa Primary School at the time and we all assembled under the big oak trees at Boys' High and waved as they drove around in the back of a Land Rover."
