Britain's Queen Elizabeth II is now the world's oldest monarch following the death of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.
Abdullah, who was 90 and passed away yesterday, was two years older to the Queen, who will be 89 in April this year.
She is one of eight octogenarian monarchs in the world, with others including the King of Thailand and the Emperor of Japan.
The Queen is also the second-longest reigning monarch in British history, behind her great-great grandmother Queen Victoria, whose record she is due to surpass in September 2015.
