She is one of the most enduring people of the 20th Century and has helped the United kingdom in its war years and beyond – she is of course the Queen of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth – and will be celebrating 60 years on the throne this year.
Her 60th Birthday coronation will actually be on the 6th February 2012 and she like Queen Victoria (who served 63 years) will be the second longest Monarch in her role in the UK’s Constitutional Monarchy.
