As The Queen turns 96, many UK papers
feature her photo as well as tributes to a record breaking Monarch
in her Platinum Jubilee year. But Elizabeth II has been dominating
the front pages for almost a century now. Back on April 21st 1926,

Majesty not being there might seem…
It’s one of the most iconic moments of
Jubilee celebrations and as the final countdown to the Platinum
party gets under way, there’s a suggestion it might just happen
again. Music legend Brian May has hinted that he might be preparing

when he played ‘God Save the Queen’ from the top of Buckingham…
One of the most recognisable and iconic
moments in The Queen’s historic 70-year reign is her 1953

by 27 million people in the United Kingdom, with millions more
watching from around the world. Queen…
Visitors to Windsor Castle got a right
royal treat this Easter as they came across a crop of royals on a
