👑 70 Years A Queen 👑

This weekend is going to go down in history well and truly and won't be seen in our lifetime again and probably not in our children's lifetime.

70 Years on the throne is a long time, and in that time she has done brilliantly well and held the Royal Family together through thick and thin.

A few facts about Her Majesty as well :

1. Queen Elizabeth II is the longest reigning British monarch in history, passing the record of 63 years and seven months previously held by her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria in 2015.

2. At 96, she is also the oldest monarch in the world.

3. And the longest-reigning female monarch in world history.

4. But that's not all. Queen Elizabeth II is also the longest-reigning living monarch in the world.
While there have been monarchs who've ruled for longer—including King Sobhuza II of Swaziland who reigned for 82 years and King Louis XIV of France who held the throne for 72 years and 110 days—they are no longer alive.

This weekend millions of people will be at different street parties and raising a glass to Her Majesty to say thank you for all you have done for our country.

So, we are going to do the same. We are going to have our own street party at The Corner Café this evening, cos I doubt any of us will be going to one in reality.

So, let's have some fun, and real celebrations of a job well done.

All are welcome.
And please feel free to share all discussions you enjoy.
