@ArishMell has listed most of them but King George VI died in '52 as well. Obviously Elizabeth II began her reign at the same moment, although the Coronation wasn't until '53.

@FreddieUK I listed only three events in 1952 - having mis-read the date of the Coronation - including the king's death.

In fact there were far more than that, in that year, but I was aiming for quite a narrow band.
