Now 85 years of age, and in her 59th year on the British throne, Great Britain's Queen Elizabeth II remains one of the world's longest-serving heads of state.
Although she was actually born on April 21, the official birthday of Queen Elizabeth II is celebrated each year in the UK on a weekend in June for purely practical reasons. The day usually presents more acceptable weather for a public party!
