Queen Elizabeth Platinum Jubilee 70th Anniversary of England Reign Photographs

Queen Elizabeth II before her coronation - we show 10 photographs of the probably most popular monarch of England.

Seventy years of reign for Queen Elizabeth II: the Queen of England will celebrate her platinum jubilee in London for three days starting June 2, an event that will also be celebrated in other Commonwealth countries. Elizabeth II was crowned at Westminster Abbey on June 2, 1953, but took office on February 6, 1952, after the death of her father, King George VI.

Since September 9, 2015, the Queen of England has been the British monarch with the longest reign ever. But before she became queen, Elizabeth II was simply the Princess of Windsor. We take a look back at some snapshots of the ruler from before she was crowned queen.

Inspiration: Cozy reading corner in &tradition style

Inspiration: Cozy reading corner in &tradition style Hola the wood fairy, but from the reading corner we can not get out of the whole autumn. And that's what we thought when we shot the beautiful pieces of furniture from &tradition in the summer. The Danish label for furniture, accessories and lighting has already enchanted us many times in the past, so it was about time that we give ourselves a little bit to the label when it comes to creating a beautiful, cozy feel-good corner for your home. Admittedly, having the products of &tradition at home and being able to create a great reading corner with them, has already pleased us quite a bit.

But nevertheless or just because of it: Our Interior-Wishlist has now become a lot longer. Here comes our inspiration for a cozy rea...

We have compiled twelve of our favorite vacation destinations on our doorstep for your next trip - old classics and new treasures. Mauritzhof, Münster The "Mauritzhof" on the edge of Münster's old town has been around since the 80s. However, the 52-room boutique hotel underwent a butterfly-like transformation a few years ago, with the Berlin design studio Lambs and Lions simultaneously providing the pupae and the cocoon of heavy fabrics and warm colors, double rooms from 159 euros.

That's what Lisa Rühwald and Christian Müller noticed when they set off from Hamburg two years ago "with a healthy dose of naivety in their luggage". They didn't get as far as Italy, because a farm in the Allgäu region fell in front of their feet. So they broug...

Advertising | Le Balcon Parisien

Advertising | Le Balcon Parisien (Advertising) In cooperation with OTTO, we have taken a look at the balcony, which is even called a window to the outside world by some. Who does not know it? During the long autumn and winter time the balcony degenerates felt to a garbage outdoor storage, the plants hang through, it is a small tragedy, at most to cool drinks or on New Year's Eve the balcony has found a use in the winter. All the better that spring has finally arrived in our country and we can once again give our balconies our full attention. The balcony story The history of the balcony, by the way, can be traced back to around the birth of Christ. If we believe ancient Roman wall drawings, covered balconies on buildings were already common in the Roman Empire. In the Orient, too, wood-carved balconies provided a view of the public, especially for women. With the expansion of the Ottoman Empire, balconies came to the Mediterranean region and thus spread to Europe. At first, balco...
