Her Majesty Queen Victoria reigned for 63 years, 7 months and 12 days. Her Majesty Queens Elizabeth shall equal this reign on the 18th of September 2015. Her Majesty shall then become the longest reigning British monarch, and will no doubt continue a much longer reign even than that.

Cricket Enthusiast Queen tells of Ashes Nerves
...............And the Queen, normally known for her cool composure, admitted that at times during last September's Ashes series the tension was so great she had to walk away from the TV................

What a lovely picture of the children playing in the ballroom! They are adorable, and the dresses of the girls look really cute. The whole scene makes the room come alive, so to speak.
