    The present queen's grandmother inherited the crown at the age of 18.

    Interestingly, both monarchs were fired at by a solitary gunman while out riding near the Buckingham Palace.

  • At the time of birth, Elizabeth was third in the succession line to the throne after her uncle Edward, Prince of Wales and father, the Duke of York.

    In 1936, after her grandfather's death, Edward VIII became King.

    However later that year, King Edward abdicated following his proposed marriage to Wallis Simpson, a divorcee.

    Elizabeth's father became king and she became 'heir presumptive'.

    The Queen wants the day to be un-exceptional

  • The Queen has asked that the day be treated like any other day as it is considered "bad form for one long-lived queen to be seen in any way to be celebrating the passing of a record set by another long-lived queen."
