The Queen made a number of visits to Merseyside during her reign.
Queen Elizabeth II, who died on Thursday (September 8) at the age of 96, ascended to the throne in 1952, at the age of 25. She was the United Kingdom's head of state for 70 years.
From attending the Grand National at Aintree, to launching a new facility at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital and opening the Mersey Gateway Bridge in Runcorn with Meghan Markle, the Queen's numerous visits to the region will be well-remembered.
