LONDON: Elizabeth II has become longest-reigning queen as she reigned for 63 years and seven months in the United Kingdom.

The 89 years old Queen Elizabeth II thanked well-wishers at home and overseas for their “touching messages of kindness” as she becomes Britain’s longest-reigning monarch. She said: “Inevitably a long life can pass by many milestones – my own is no exception – but I thank you all and the many others at home and overseas for your touching messages of great kindness.” David Cameron said the service she had given was “truly humbling”.
