HER Majesty Queen Elizabeth II turns 90 today. As we celebrate her longevity, it is hard not to acknow­ledge her remarkable reign of 64 years and counting, making her the longest reigning British monarch ever.

Since ascending to the throne in 1952, she has known 12 British prime ministers, from Sir Winston Churchill to David Cameron, and six Malaysian prime ministers, from Tunku Abdul Rahman to Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. While the world around us has changed so rapidly, the Queen has been the one constant.
