Elizabeth II
Ascended the throne February 6th 1952...and still reigning
Today, Queen Elizabeth II becomes the longest reigning monarch in British history. She passes the landmark around 4.30pm so her reign enters the history books on a grey Wednesday afternoon. No matter. Despite the storms her rule is a shining example and she now enjoys acclaim around the world not only as a long lived monarch but as a great one too. Elizabeth II, Queen of England, royal legend.
