There must be quite a few OCC members who can remember 1952.


and over 23,000 days later.



What will the next 23,000 days bring ?

She's a good 'un is our Queen. She's had to tolerate some absolutely frightful politicians over the years too.

[clan chieftain]

And what is she doing today.....Officially reopening the Borders rail line.
Long may she reign.

Dunno Rootes75, but I reckon that there is little chance of him challenging the Victoria/ElizabethII record

So is Charles the oldest Heir Apparent.?

Hi
Edward VII was 67yrs and 168 days
Charles is 66 yrs and 300 days
Charles Birthday is just 5 days after that of Edward albeit 107 years apart, so if the Queen doesn't abdicate and makes it past 17th January 2016 then he will be.

I don't think any of the earlier monarchs reached old enough ages to have an older heir. Though true historians might know different.

Hi
OOOOOPS.
I had counted through to his death not his accession.

No slight intended at all, but it does make me chuckle to see this discussion under General Motoring and other collectables. I've never owned a car that old.

[ka]

I share the previous thought, if the Queen is not 'general motoring', is she a 'other collectable?'
