One of the most well-remembered occasions was in 1994 when she came to Blackpool for the Festival 94 celebrations and Rossall School’s 150th anniversary.
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh also visited The Grand Theatre and Blackpool Tower for the first time. Naturally they were given a warm welcome by thousands of people who lined the roadsides and craned for views from the top of buildings, to catch a glimpse of their monarch. The Royal Variety Performances of 1955 and 2009 are included in the pictures as well as a visit to Weeton Barracks to present new colours to the 1st Battalion Queen’s Lancashire Regiment, on July 9, 1990.
There are some fabulous crowds shot too – if you turned out to catch a glimpse of the Queen you might spot yourself.
In case you missed them: 36 majestic scenes which capture how the Fylde Coast partied to celebrate the Queen's Golden and Diamond Jubilees in 2002 and 2012
