The links between the Queen and the Harrogate district stretch back decades, including a visit in 1952 before her coronation.
They include appearances at the Great Yorkshire Show in Harrogate to her trips to Ripon, including her 2004 visit for another important anniversary – 400 years since the granting of the city’s Royal Charter.
