Today, February 6th, marks the queens 65th year at the throne. This means she is the longest reigning British monarch in history. What is the Queen doing in celebration? Nothing. She is going to spend the day at Sandringham, her country estate in western England, where she plans on chilling with the grand-kids. It was February 6th, 1952 when the then 25 year old Elizabeth ascended to the throne as this is the day her father, King George VI died.
Why do you think Queen Elizabeth is the longest reigning monarch in English history?
What do you think made her not want to have a big public celebration and instead stay at Sandringham?

Good topic choice but be sure to include your thoughts in the summary as well. You also didn't reply to any student comments which is worth 20 points.
I think that Queen Elizabeth is the longest reigning monarch in English history because, not only does she have medical technology that previous monarchs lacked, but I believe she also has passion for what she does! I think that Queen Elizabeth has been a great leader and is very well liked by all! I believe she wanted to spend the day at her estate with her family because it is something that she enjoys. I think that this says a lot about the Queen's character and her humble personality!
I think the reason why Queen Elizabeth is the longest reining monarch in British history is because she knows how to take care of herself not only physically, but mentally as well. She didn't want a big celebration, because she wanted to spend time with her grandchildren, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
she has asces to better medicle equpment and medicine. she also has been queen in a less stressful enviroment. she is getting older and she knows how valuble famely time is. and having a big party would take away from that.
She is still reigning because she hasn't died yet. She is a great leader and she is very devoted to what she does, but she is pretty old. That's probably the reason why she didn't want to have a huge celebration. She is also just a human being, an old lady wanting to spend the time she has left with her family. And her getting older and older makes her exhausted, she does not want to make a huge deal out of all that.
I believe that Queen elizabeth was the longest reigning queen because she is very devoted to her job was an extremely great leader! She most likely did not want a big celebration because it would be too much money and it would require a lot of cleaning up!
In monarchy, it is just the family and since no one has passed away, she continues. She mainly pleases the public and is loved. From my perspective, she most likely just wanted to stay in for the day and relax because she must be incredibly exhausted!
I think that is the longest reigning monarch in history because she is very well liked and she knows how to keep people happy. She is a very good Queen and has lots of respect from people. She probably didn't want to celebrate because being with her family was probably enough for her and that's all she wanted to do. Her family has a lot to do with the how good of a Queen she is today.
she must be a fare ruller to her people and every one must love her. she probley way tyord and wonted to have some family time ruling is not vary easy to do
I think that the reason that she is the longest is because as time goes by throughout history people's lifespans grow longer because of discovery in modern medicine and healthier lifestyles. Also she is the queen, one of the most important people in the world, she is going to be taken care of. I think that she just wanted to enjoy time with her family and not make a big deal about it.
