The Queen infamously described 1992 as her "annus horribilis”, saying she would look back on the year with bad memories.
She witnessed the breakdown of three of her four children’s marriages, including her heir Charles’ relationship with Princess Diana, and watched her beloved home Windsor Castle burn in a horrifying fire.
The fire was caused by a spotlight which was being used for renovation works, starting in the Queen’s Private Chapel before spreading through huge sections of the historic building destroying everything in its path.
