| The City of London Lily Brooch |
This brooch, in the form of a lily and grasses, was presented to the Queen by the City of London when she was given the Freedom of the City in 1947, just the third woman to receive the honor.
That was a prosperous year for the Queen's jewelry collection, as she received gifts for her 21st birthday and many more for her November wedding. In addition to this brooch, the Queen also received her other notable lily brooch that year:
the Flame Lily. Decades later, she still wears them both; the City of London Lily made its most notable appearance at the Thanksgiving Service and luncheon held for the Golden Jubilee in 2002.
