Queen Elizabeth II and Philip were married on November 20, 1947 at Westminster Abbey in London, England. The 2000 guests at the wedding included many royals, Noel Coward, Beatrice Lillie. They became secretly engaged in 1946. Because of her age, her family at first opposed her marriage to Philip, but relented. Their engagement was officially announced on July 9, 1947.

The nine-foot high, four-tier wedding cake, was made with ingredients given by Australian Girl Guides. Her platinum engagement ring had a large square diamond with smaller diamonds on either side. The diamonds came from Philip's mother's tiara.
