This is one of the greatest love stories in the history of the British Monarchy. No Sovereign has been married as long as the Queen â€" and nor, for that matter, have many other people.

Yesterday, the Queen and the Duke celebrated their 65th â€" or blue sapphire â€" wedding anniversary. ( Robert Hardman, 21 November 2012, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/)
