Queen Elizebeth II Marks Another Milestone
Only another three years to beat the longest reigning monarch, Queen Victoria.
She still has a fair way to go before passing Pepi II Neferkare though.
On Thursday 12 May 2011, she becomes the second-longest serving monarch Britain has ever had.
On that day she overtakes the length of the reign of George III, a king remembered largely for the "madness" which overtook him in later years.
George III died in 1820 after a reign lasting 59 years and 96 days.
