Princess Elizabeth steps from her plane after landing at London Airport after being recalled from Kenya following the death of her father King George VI.
Waiting for her at the bottom of the plane steps are Clement Attlee and serving British Prime minister Winston Churchill.
She was proclaimed Sovereign of each of the Commonwealth Realms two days earlier, after the Kings death in the night of 5th to 6th February.
She heard the news while staying at Treetops, a game lodge, in Kenya.
