Dave Hounddriver Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Queen Elizabeth II is expected to become the longest serving British monarch on 9 September. When she reaches this date, the Queen will have reigned for longer than her great-great grandmother Queen Victoria, who sat on the throne for 63 years and 216 days. Although impressive, both monarchs are roughly twenty years off from competing with the longest serving rulers of all time. Three Cheers for Good Queen Bess :999: :999: :999: And THIS is the reason some of us expats will get together at WhyNot in Dumaguete for some beers on Sept 9. WOT? You thought we were going there anyway? Hmmmm. Just to show good faith we allow those who are not loyal subjects of Her Majesty to come to WhyNot and buy the beers to show their respect :cheersty: .

Methersgate Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 God save the Queen. Prince Philip was 90 before he admitted... ...that he had been Mentioned in Despatches as the searchlight operator on board the battleship HMS VALIANT at the Battle of Cape Matapan, seventy years earlier. Not bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
