Queen Elizabeth II is officially the longest reigning UK monarch as she has just passed Queen Victoria's previous record of 63 years and 216 days on the throne. Above (top) is a contact sheet taken by Cecil Beaton before she was queen (1942) and later another contact sheet also by Cecil Beaton taken in 1968. And below I have a reimagined contact sheet of a photo shoot with the Queen by cartoonist Ralph Steadman.
