68 Years Ago Today! We Celebrate Queen Elizabeth And Prince Philip's Incredible Love Story

Happy 68th wedding anniversary, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip!

The royal couple, who celebrates the milestone today, wed in a stunning ceremony on November 20, 1947 at Westminster Abbey – the same place where Prince William and the then Kate Middleton tied the knot in 2011.

And just like Will and Kate, a young, pretty Princess Elizabeth and a tall, handsome Prince Philip brought smiles and celebrations to the nation – something that was certainly needed in November 1947, just two years after the end of WWII.

Elizabeth, who was brought to the famous Abbey by her father, King George VI, wore an elegant Norman Hartnell gown. And Philip was every bit an officer and a gentleman in his ceremonial naval uniform (he had served in WWII).

The Queen, now 89, is spending today alongside her husband visiting Birmingham in the English Midlands.

She will no doubt be thinking back to that momentous day tomorrow when she kicks off her shoes – with her beloved pet corgis close by.
