On the day the world lost the only British monarch in whose
reign TLotR had been in print,I must draw a close to the series
of posts on anniversaries of the Queen's birth and accession
that compared her long reign to those of counterparts in Arda
(with those of Rohan most comparable as she exceeded the life
and reign of all Kings of the Mark but Aldor the Old,to whom
Eomer was second on both counts).

Her Majesty's lifespan remained (96 years,140 days) in the gap
between two Masters of Buckland,a Thain,and King Eomer at 93
years,and another Thain and three Ruling Stewards of Gondor at 98;
her reign (almost exactly seven years longer than Queen Victoria's)
at 70 years 214 days clearly surpassed Ar-Sakalthor of Numenor,
was roughly abreast of Arveleg II of Arthedain and the Chieftain
Aranuir,and clearly behind Ar-Zimrathon of Numenor and the Chieftain
Arahael.

Charles III takes the British throne about two months from 74,
already older than Eorl,Brego,Helm,Frealaf,Walda,Folca,and Theoden
were when they died,roughly abreast of Gram and Folcwine and
likely behind Deor,definitely behind Thengel and others though
only Frea acceded at a greater age than Charles.

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
