Elizabeth II recently celebrated (From the 2nd-4th of June 2012) her 60th Jubilee of her reign. She is still reigning but she began her duties in 1952. Before her, Queen Victoria ruled from 1837- 1900, 63 years. Finally, Elizabeth I ruled from 1558- 1603, 45 years. So to answer your question, Queen Victoria was the longest reigning British monarch but if Elizabeth rules into 2016, she will be bestowed this title.
May 24th is Queen Victoria's birthday. "Victoria Day" is a federal Canadian statutory holiday celebrated on the last Monday before May 25th. She's the first sovereign of a confederated Canada and the longest-reigning British monarch.
The eldest son of the reigning monarch becomes king when the monarch dies. If the reigning monarch has no sons, then his eldest daughter becomes queen. However, the law has just been changed so that the eldest child of the reigning monarch becomes the new monarch on the death of the parent regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl. In practice, as Prince William's wife has just given birth to a boy, it will be at least 80 to 100 years before there is another female monarch.

I understand it was Richard Cromwell (4 October 1626 -12 July 1712), the third son of Oliver Cromwell. Whilst he only ruled as Lord Protector of England for less than 9 months between 3 September 1658 until 25 May 1659, he lived longer than other rulers/monarchs and, therefore, "was" the oldest ruler but, was not ruling for many years before his death. Possibly the question to my answer should be, 'Which ruler of England lived the longest?'
The last queen consort was Queen Elizabeth but the last female monarch was Queen Victoria, 1837-1901.
