As the country mourns the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, many will be remembering her countless Royal visits up and down the land.
Among them were a number of trips to Northumberland, including one 40 years ago to open the UK's largest artificial lake - Kielder Water.
On May 26, 1982, The Queen alongside her husband Prince Philip declared the vast reservoir officially open following its seven-year construction.

Operators Northumbrian Water celebrated Kielder's ruby anniversary earlier this year, just days before the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. At the time, David Hall, NWL's head of commercial, described the moment as "very poignant".
The Queen opened the site at 11.35am on the morning of May 26, and unveiled a plaque to commemorate the occasion. The Royal couple were greeted by then- Hexham MP Geoffrey Rippon, the chairman of Northumberland County Council as well as the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland of the day.
They visited Hawkhirst Scouts' Activity Centre, met local schoolchildren and took in the sites of Leaplish Recreational Centre as well as hearing about Kielder Water Club.
Her late Majesty passed away peacefully at Balmoral in Scotland on Thursday afternoon, bringing to an end her 70-year reign. The 96-year-old had been struggling with what Buckingham Palace described as "mobility issues" for some time.
It follows the death of her husband, Prince Philip, in April last year after more than 73 years of marriage. The Queen described his death as leaving a "huge void" in her life.
Since her Majesty's death, tributes from the North East have been joined by others from across the country, and indeed the world.
Her children, including King Charles III, flew to Scotland yesterday, but the new King has returned to London and is expected to address the nation this evening for the first time as monarch.
