Once banned in the Liverpool city hall, it will hang there once again.

"We are very proud that Liverpool now has the original first painting hanging in St George's Hall, which has been rehung to celebrate the anniversary of the Queen's Coronation," said Liverpool's deputy Lord Mayor Gary Millar, told the Telegraph.

“It will be the first thing people will see if they come to get married or have a civil partnership or attend a citizenship ceremony."

Time reported that the Queen has sat for 129 portraits over her life.
