During her 70 years on the throne, Queen Elizabeth II made many visits to our region.
A number of these visits saw her open new buildings and facilities. In 2002 - her Golden Jubilee year - she opened the new terminal building at Liverpool John Lennon Airport alongside Yoko Ono.
More recently, 2018 saw the Queen and Meghan Markle travel by Royal Train to Runcorn in order to unveil a plaque marking the opening of the Mersey Gateway Bridge. One such visit to the region saw a slight hiccup involving the late monarch's car.
