Fan-favourite Jenny Newby, who sits alongside her best mate Lee Riley, broke down crying over the monarch and proceeded to sing the national anthem in a moving tribute.
After reaching for the tissues, Jenny said: “When she first took over, she said ‘Be it a long reign or a short reign’ she would reign until the end and that’s what she did.”
Lee affectionately agreed: “She has.”

Jenny said: “We used to have pictures like that in our school when we was little.”

Reflecting on her reign, the new dad said: “That is incredible isn’t it? Eight decades.”
Sophie admitted: “I just can’t believe it. I’m just in disbelief.”
