Queen Elizabeth officially opens Scottish Borders Railway - Daily Mail

Описание: The Queen today surpasses the record set by her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria to become Britain's longest-reigning monarch. But rather than mark the milestone with high-profile celebrations, it is business as usual for Her Majesty as she carries out official duties in Scotland. With Prince Philip by her side, the Queen was greeted by cheering crowds (top left) as she arrived in the village of Tweedbank, where she opened the new £294million Scottish Borders Railway. In a speech to hundreds of well-wishers, the monarch thanked supporters for their 'touching messages of great kindness' on a day she described as a 'milestone', adding it was one she had never aspired to reach. Meanwhile, David Cameron led tributes to the Queen as the royal rowbarge Gloriana led a flotilla of boats down the River Thames in her honour (bottom left).
