1. Elizabeth II (Wikipedia).
Excerpt: Elizabeth II was Queen of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms from 6 February 1952 until her death in 2022. When her father died in February 1952, Elizabeth, then 25 years old, became queen of seven independent Commonwealth countries and head of the Commonwealth. The number of her realms varied over time as territories gained independence and as most realms became republics. Her many historic visits and meetings included state visits to China in 1986, to Russia in 1994, and to the Republic of Ireland in 2011; she met five popes and fourteen US presidents.(Submitted on October 17, 2026, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)She was queen regnant of 32 sovereign states during her lifetime and was the monarch of 15 realms at her death. Her reign of 70 years and 214 days is the longest of any British monarch, the second-longest of any sovereign state, and the longest of any queen regnant in history.Photographed by Cosmos Mariner, June 20, 20223.

2. Queen's Statue Maquettes Presented to Donors (Saskatchewan.ca).
(February 4, 2004) Excerpt: In honour of the 50th anniversary of the Queen's reign, the province commissioned Saskatchewan sculptor Susan Velder to create a larger-than-life-sized bronze statue of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II riding her favourite horse, Burmese. Lieutenant Governor Lynda Haverstock presented miniature bronze statues to eleven donors who contributed $10,000 or more to the Queen's Golden Jubilee Statue Project. “This monument is made possible through partnerships with many generous and community-minded individuals and organizations,” Haverstock said. “This unique project celebrates the remarkable contributions of Canada's Queen and will also commemorate Saskatchewan's centennial.”(Submitted on October 17, 2026, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)Photographed by Cosmos Mariner, June 20, 20224.
