Not that this is quite the right time, but is there any list of the Queen's achievements that isn't simply "she lived for very long" and "she witnessed some important events"? I fail to see why this is impressive.

Her main achievement was utterly subordinating her personal life to the requirement of her public life. No one has any idea of what her personal belief was on any matter more consequential than what brand of cornflakes she ate.
