On the Other Side of the Circle of Life:
The Telegraph as an online article saying The Queen will soon be older than Victoria was when she died. This will make her the oldest ever monarch, king or queen. She still has a way to go to get the longest reign record. They say she will have to live to 2015 to accomplish that. Considering how old her mother was when she died, I wouldn't take odds on The Queen not breaking that record as well.
Along in the piece it says 11 Prime Ministers have served under her. The first being Sir Winston Churchill KG OM CH TD FRS PC (Can). It also goes on to say, nice bit of trivia this, she is the first monarch to have a PM that was born during her reign.
This living history so far has been fascinating. She wasn't yet Queen when I was born.
