The Queen will celebrate 25,000 days of her reign on Saturday 18 July, and will likely mark the occasion privately at Windsor Castle
July 17, 2020 - 07:46 BST Chloe Best The Queen is set to reach an incredible milestone on Saturday – she will have reigned for 25,000 days. Her Majesty is the nation's longest-serving monarch, and became sovereign on 6 February 1952 after the death of her father, King George VI, when she was just 25.
On Saturday, the Queen will have been monarch for 68 years, five months and 12 days – or an incredible 25,000 days – almost 1,800 days longer than the previous record reign set by her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria.WATCH: Milestones and events of the Queen's 25,000-day-long reign In 2015, the monarch overtook the record of 23,226 days, 16 hours and 30 minutes set by the late Queen Victoria to become the country's longest-reigning monarch, but admitted the royal record was"not one to which I have ever aspired".
The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh have both been staying at their Windsor residence since March, and have since marked occasions including the monarch's 94th birthday and Prince Philip's 99th birthday privately.Her Majesty will, however, make a return to royal duties on Friday when she welcomes Captain Sir Tom Moore to Windsor Castle for a special investiture ceremony.
Announcing the news earlier this week, Buckingham Palace said:"During the ceremony, the Queen will use the sword that belonged to her father, George VI and will award Captain Sir Thomas Moore with the insignia of Knight Bachelor."Like this story?
