The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee at IWM London

Throughout her 70-year reign and in the decades before, Her Majesty The Queen has lived through times of conflict, maintaining an enduring relationship with the armed forces and honouring those affected by war at home and across the world.

Marking the Platinum Jubilee this spring, IWM London will present a rich programme that, for the first time in the museum’s history, explores the role of The Royal Family in conflict, tracing The Queen’s personal experience of war through poignant items, including rarely seen film and photography, in IWM’s collections.

'Crown and Conflict: Portraits of a Queen in Wartime' is a new exhibition of poignant photographs exploring the breadth and scope of The Queen’s role in times of war.

In addition, a dedicated trail of historic objects on display across five gallery spaces at IWM London will explore the Royal Family’s long-standing and intimate association with the British armed forces and its key role in times of war and conflict.
