WHOOPS - CORRECTING MY HISTORY
Sorry, the Queen is the oldest monarch, not the longest serving -
Elizabeth, who took the throne in 1952, is one of only five kings or queens since the 1066 Norman Conquest to reign for more than half a century. Currently the fourth longest-reigning English monarch, she would overtake King Henry III on March 5, and King George III in 2012.
