“The Queen ruled for longer than any other Monarch in British history having just celebrated 70 years earlier this year. She was a much loved and respected figure across the globe. Her extraordinary reign has seen her travel more widely than any other monarch, undertaking many historic overseas visits,” Tzalam said.
