The video, posted by user Caroline Roberts has been liked over 1.2 million times, as the latest reports from London say the queue to visit the queen’s coffin in Westminster has reached five miles, and the Department for Digital, Media, Culture and Sport issued a statement saying, “Please do not attempt to join the queue until it re-opens” as they temporarily close it off due to overcrowding.

Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was born Elizabeth the Princess of York in Mayfair, London, in 1926. Following the death of her father in 1952, at the age of 25, she became Queen Elizabeth II.

As the National WW2 Museum of News Orleans writes on its website, “When the Princess Elizabeth turned 18 in 1944, she insisted upon joining the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS), the women’s branch of the British Army.” Her father, King George, made sure that she was given no special rank or favor and she started as a second subaltern, and was later promoted to junior commander or the equivalent of a captain. In 1945, the princess trained as a mechanic with the papers calling her “Princess Auto Mechanic.”

After then–Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced the end of World War II on May 8, 1945, millions of people took to the streets to celebrate including Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret. The 19-year-old princess snuck out of Buckingham Palace, on what she later described as “one of the most memorable nights of my life” during a rare interview with the BBC in 1985.

“We were terrified of being recognized,” she continued, “So I pulled my uniform cap well down over my eyes,” she said in her BBC interview. “A Grenadier officer among our party of about 16 people said he refused to be seen in the company of another officer improperly dressed. So I had to put my cap on normally.”
