Howdy Y’all,
Today’s high-five was a no brainer for me, I wanted to celebrate HM The Queen. For those of you who are unaware last week she became the longest reigning monarch in British history serving for over 63 years and 216 days. She has beaten the previous record set by HM Queen Victoria, interesting that they are both women :0) This event for my country is one of those once in a lifetime. To honor and celebrate her I wanted to share some interesting facts about her life!
God Save The Queen
Ta ta for now

4 Queen Elizabeth II and Duke of Edinburgh have been married for almost 68 years!!!! It is alleged when she first met him aged 13 she had already decided he would be her future husband. Her wedding dress was paid for with ration coupons. Their marriage has produced four children, eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
