HM Queen Elizabeth today marks 25,000 days as our reigning monarch.

The milestone falls a day milestone after Captain Sir Tom Moore's knighthood investiture at Windsor Castle, which was believed to be the first to take place outside, on the castle quadrangle.

The Queen, the longest serving monarch in the world, will spend the day at Windsor Castle, where she, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the "HMS Bubble" of staff have been staying throughout lockdown.
