The UK has undergone huge social, scientific and technological change over the last 70 years - but Queen Elizabeth II has remained a constant, stabilising presence.
The 1960s saw the beginnings of colour TV and viewers become gripped by popular TV programmes like Doctor Who. Apartheid ended in South Africa in the early 1990s and Nelson Mandela was released from jail, before going on to become South African president. In the US, meanwhile, riots took place in Los Angeles over the acquittal of four police officers accused of beating African-American Rodney King.
Homosexuality was decriminalised in 1967 but the gay community continued to campaign for equal rights. The Stonewall riots in 1969 in New York, in response to police harassment, galvanised gay and lesbian activism. British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee then invented the world wide web in 1989. The web nurtured platforms such as eBay, Google, Wikipedia, Facebook and Twitter.
