June 2 - Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. [There was no Queen Elizabeth I of Scotland, only England, and therefore some insist that since she is the first Queen of the UK, her title should be Elizabeth I of the United Kingdom.] Her coronation ceremony was wrapped in references to ancient Israel: as in the anthem 'Zadok the Priest' which was composed by George Frideric Handel for the 1727 coronation of King George II, with words lifted from the Bible's 'Book of Kings', chapter 1, verses 38-40, and referring to the coronation of King Solomon. The 'Coronation Chair' itself has space for a block of red sandstone known as the 'Stone of Scone', and its heritage links to the mythology of the 'Lost Ten Tribes' of Israel.
