Today Queen Elizabeth turns 95.
What would normally be a national celebration, will this year be a much more subdued affair, falling just days after the funeral of her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, and while covid restrictions still apply.
There are no street parties or crowds gathered to mark the occasion, so today we take a look back at some photos from a few of the Queen's visits to the region.
Do you remember any of the Royal visits, were you lucky enough to see the Queen?
