Today Thr Queen...

[Jackdaw33]

...celebrates 68 years on the throne, a record unlikely to be beaten.

[albaqwerty]

Isn't she the longest reigning monarch now since the King of Thailand died?

68 years is quite impressive.

[Lie-in King]

Cheers to Her Majesty :-)

[Mamyalynne]

A wonderful Reign!

[Jackdaw33]

Longest in British history. Foreign monarchs whp came to the throne as children have reigned longer, e.g. Louis XIV of France and Michael of Romania.

[Theland]

Her Maj is 93, and could easily go on for another ten years, matching Kirk Douglas.
So, I was born into her reign, and will probably exit in it.
Good luck to her.
Her kids could learn a lot from her example.

[1ozzy]

I feel sorry for her.
68 years on the throne?

Needs some laxatives.

[Theland]

Now then Oz she is your Queen too!
Have you colonials no respect for Maj?

[1ozzy]

Some do, we haven't become a Republic yet.

[Theland]

You can always borrow Prince Andrew.

[1ozzy]

Thanks Theland .
Is that the best on offer?

[Theland]

We also have Edward. Nice quiet boy.

[emmie]

very true, and i hope she goes on, her reign as such has been one of duty and i admire her for her steadfastness.

[DTCwordfan]

it has been elsewhere - the last King of Thailand for example - the Queen is #5 in the list and the #1 spot goes to Louis XVI who reigned 72 years and 110 days.

she's overtaken Ramses II but has some way to go to catch Pepi II's (alleged) 94 years. Unfortunately for Pepi, pharaohs had to do a public sprint every year to show they were still up to it, and Pepi didn't do well in later years.

An amazing lady indeed, only once did she falter and that’s when she was badly advised re Diana,the flag and staying at Balmoral, other than that she’s never put a foot wrong and served our country steadfastly
God Save Our Queen

[woofgang]

I don’t think she did too well over the Charles Diana marriage thing either but put it down to dreadful advice.

[ummmm]

I really admire her.

Watching her and Prince Harry where he did a mike boom and she replied 'boom'

And look at the Olympics...she did this country proud. Great sense of humour.

The lady is doing a magnificent job. Long may she continue.

[rowanwitch]

I would not bow to a person because of the office they hold. I would bow to an elderly lady who has earned the respect by her hard work, dignity and humour.
So Elizabeth Windsor, long may you continue.

Love, respect and admire her. She has been, and continues to be, a wonderful Queen. We'll never know her like again. I'd love to meet her.
