In 1952, then Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was holidaying in Kenya when she received news that her father, King George VI had died, and she rushed back to England to be crowned Queen Elizabeth II.

This year marks the 60th anniversary since her ascent to the throne, and the Queen has invited music representatives from Kenya, a former British colony and member of the Commonwealth that she heads, to perform in London to commemorate her ascent to the throne.
