We chart the highs and lows of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, who as she put it, 'never had an apprenticeship'. Relive the sounds that made her record-breaking 63 years and 7 months on the throne - from conquering Everest to the major fire at Windsor Castle and the Millennium celebrations. Plus hear what Elizabeth herself thinks about work-life balance. Then our reporter Elizabeth Hotson investigates the importance of the Queen to the brand of Britain and what monarchy-based tourism has done for the economy. Also, how do tourists manage to take a selfie with the Queen? (Picture: The Queen at her desk; Credit: Buckingham Palace.)
