In the last seven decades Queen Elizabeth II has come to the region on no fewer than six occasions.
Each time she has been met by crowds of locals, keen to catch a glimpse of Her Majesty.
Her first visit was back in 1955, and her most recent was in 2017 when she, and the late Prince Philip, officially opened the Queen Elizabeth II Canal and visited the Kelpies.
