It would be great to celebrate her reign, she has done a terrific job.
Entirely agreeEvery time I read about her or watch a documentary, I'm always staggered by how much she actually does.

I, personally, would tend to disagree and think that she has done most things very well, some things exceptionally well and only a few things rather poorly.
Overall, she has performed consistently in the same role for over sixty years, which is quite an achievement, even compared to other comparable monarchs; Carl Gustav of Sweden has seen the Swedish monarchy turned into a tourist attracting irrelevance, whilst Juan Carlos oversaw the Spanish monarchy fall from stratospheric approval ratings to the point where there is a very credible republican movement in Spain. the King of Greece lost his throne altogether whilst Queen Beatrix's rather overtly heavy-handed use of the Dutch monarch's constitutional powers saw these legally curtailed and the standing of the monarchy much diminished. Compared to all that, Brenda hasn't got very much wrong IMO
