God Save the Queen
Queen Elizabeth II is to reach the unprecedented milestone of reigning as British monarch for 25,000 days.
On 6 February 1952, a 25-year-old Princess Elizabeth was appointed Queen following the unexpected death of her father, King George VI. In 2015, the sovereign became the longest-reigning British monarch in history, overtaking a record previously set by her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria, who sat on the throne for 63 years and 216 days. Queen Victoria presided over Britain as monarch for 23,226 days, 16 hours and 30 minutes. On Saturday 18 July, Queen Elizabeth II will have sat on the throne for grand total of 25,000 days. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknew...id=mailsignout

Good on her jim, always admired her! I hope she stays for a while longer yet, I'm afraid I don't like the idea of Charles taking the throne!!
