On 21 April 1926, a baby girl was born to an English couple.
She was standing on the balcony (in uniform) with her sister and parents, and Mr. Churchill on Victory in Europe Day, 1945.
When her father unexpectedly died in early 1952, she became Queen of England. She was crowned Queen on this date, June 2, 1953.
She has likely met more heads of state than any living person. Today she celebrates sixty years on the throne - the longest period of time of any living head of state. (thanks Roger).
Congratulations to her and to the Commonwealth of Nations. Vivat Regina.
