Here are some facinating facts about The Queen's long reign:
She is slowly but surely climbing up the longest reigning monarch league.
On March 5th 2008 , she will overtake Henry 3rd (who reigned for 56 years from 1216-1272) - to go into 3rd spot.
To go into 2nd spot , her next marker will be 2012 , to overtake George111 (who reigned 59 years from 1760-1820).
The top prize , TheNo1 spot , to beat Queen Victoria (63 years and 216 days reign) won't be until 11th Sept 2015 , when HM The Queen will be 89 years old. I really hope she makes this landmark date.
