History (sort of!) Quiz

OK,  for anyone who did the place names quiz, here's another slightly different one. I wrote this one in 2016 to mark the queen's 90th birthday.

All the clues relate to events in her lifetime - example

1954 - RBRFSFMM would be Roger Bannister runs first sub four minutes mile.

So how many can you do - remember on quiz nights mobile phones and Google consultations are not allowed! 

Good luck - I'll leave them on till the weekend again for anyone wanting a go.
