Coronation portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. June 2, 1953
February 6, 2017 is Queen Elizabeth II’s Sapphire Jubilee. The Queen is the first British monarch to celebrate a 65 year reign though there have been longer reigns elsewhere in the world. (King Louis XIV of France reigned for 72 years, the longest reign in European history so far). As I discussed with Eun Kim at Today, the Queen plans to mark this historic date quietly as it is also the anniversary of her father King George VI’s death.

Just to advise you that the people of The Bahamas are known as Bahamians, not Bahamanians as per your article on the Duke of Windsor as Governor of the Bahamas.
Thanks! I’ll correct that.
