Historian and returning guest speaker Jim Gibbons will discuss the life of the longest-reigning and longest-living Queen since 1952. He will discuss her coronation, the impact of the constitutional changes she implemented, devolution of the United Kingdom, and the loss of her daughter-in-law, Princess Diana Spencer. Gibbons will explain how the Queen, while both conservative and elegant in dress, was a strong voice over policies in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
