Either way, historically, it's sod all to do with this weekend.

All though she legally became Queen on the day her dad died, they had to have a respectable mourning period before they crowned her. So she has been queen 60 years, you'd already lived a year before you became 1, yet you'd been alive 1y & 9 months.
