    QUEEN Elizabeth II is planning to keep things low-key on Wednesday, when she will overtake Queen Victoria as Britain's longest-serving monarch, despite public interest in the historic date.

    She will ride on a steam train in Scotland to inaugurate a new railway line and host a dinner at Balmoral Castle with her grandson Prince William and his wife Kate in attendance.
