Meet the Welsh people helping the Queen
The Queen will become the longest serving monarch in British history on Wednesday, September 9, overtaking the record previously held by her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria.
Over the past 63 years the Queen has been helped by the people of Wales - from the Welsh Guards who keep her palaces safe, to the corgi enthusiasts who help her breed her Pembrokeshire corgis.

Captain Sir Norman Lloyd-Evans was Lord-Lieutenant of South Glamorgan and remembers many fond visits to Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan:
