You knew she was on the throne for quite some time, but do you already know how long?
Queen Elizabeth II has been on the British throne for 63 years. She was only 26 years old when her father, King George IV, died and she, in turn, became queen.
It also broke a record. She will be the head of the country that has ruled Britain for the longest period. Congratulations are definitely in place.
To celebrate Elizabeth, we’ll take a look at some of the important things that have happened in the world during her long career as a queen. In 63 years, a lot has happened.

The legendary Woodstock Rock Festival was held in the United States in 1969. By that time, Elizabeth had ruled Britain for 17 years. We’re a little unsure if she’d like to be in her place among all the half-naked fans.

In 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his world-famous speech about the dream he had been dreaming of. For 11 years Elizabeth was queen at that time. We like to imagine her among onlookers cheering passionately for Martin.
