Queen Elizabeth II, who died aged 96 last year, was the first British monarch to accede to the throne after India`s Independence from colonial rule in 1952.
Queen Elizabeth visited India three times during her reign. Her final tour in 1997, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Indian independence, was tainted by rancour.
