The Queen has reached a new milestone this week, after becoming the world's third longest reigning monarch.
Her Majesty, 96, surpassed Johan II of Liechtenstein, who reigned for 70 years and 91 days, until his death in February 1929, with her stint on the throne now standing at 70 years and 92 days.
And in just 34 days' time, she will surpass King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand, who regined from 1946 until his death in October 2016, racking up 70 years, 126 days on the throne.
He was the world's longest- living reigning monarch before the Queen when he died aged 70.
It comes as Her Majesty prepares to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee, after reaching the milestone on 6th February this year, with a weekend of festivities next month.
