Queen Elizabeth II officially became the world's second-longest serving monarch of all time on Sunday, having officially reigned as head of state for 70 years and 126 days.

Her majesty, 96, has overtaken Thailand's late king, the ninth monarch Bhumibol Adulyadej, who died in 2016. Louis XIV of France, known as Louis the Great or the Sun King, still holds the title for longest-serving sovereign with 72 years and 110 days.

He was on the throne from 1643 until 1715. On May 9, Elizabeth surpassed Johan II of Liechtenstein, who served for 70 years and 91 days, until his death in February 1929.

The queen became the longest-reigning British monarch in September 2015, surpassing her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria.
