Abbey where the late queen was married in 1957. And crowned back in 1953. When she was just 25 years old. Her astounding 70 years on the throne saw a world transformed. From scientific breakthroughs, world war ii, to a changing monarchy. And to her own changing family. Yet, threw it all this remarkable woman endured. Through 14 american president s, 15 british Prime Ministers, through financial crisis and, of course, the troubles through the rise of the internet and the fall of the berlin wall. In a few minutes, the royal navy will begin a procession to transport the queen from Westminster Hall where she has been lying at rest. Queen elizabeth ii led her people for over seven decades on the throne. She was 96 years old. The longest reigning monarch in british history. Along with joe, willie and me, we have u. S. Special correspondent for bbc catty kay. Its wonderful to be with you early this morning as we cover history in the making. Lets set the scene. Last night i posted a picture of
