Queen Elizabeth II became the longest living monarch in British history today.
AT 1700 GMT the Queen surpassed the 81 years and 243 days of Queen Victoria, her great-great-grandmother, but there was no special event to commemorate the historic landmark.
There’s nothing the Queen is doing to mark the occasion, others have noticed the date but it’s nothing that we were thinking about marking. This is just another normal working day,” said a Buckingham Palace spokeswoman.
During her reign, the Queen has set records including being the first British monarch to send an e-mail, have a message put on the moon and hold a public concert in her back garden.
