Queen Elizabeth II reigned for 70 years, eclipsing her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria by nearly 7 years, (Queen Victoria previously had the title of being Queen for 63 years, seven months and two days), and this milestone was celebrated on September 9, 2015, as at the time of death the reign of Elizabeth II was 70 years and 214 days.
