Queen Elizabeth II was no stranger to the North West during her 70-year reign. Throughout her life, she visited Greater Manchester and the Liverpool City Region to open buildings, visit the set of Coronation Street and even see the sites from a duck boat.
We’ve compiled a selection of images of the Queen’s time in our region. Below you will find photographs from her visits to Liverpool One, MediaCityUK and even a shopping centre in Bolton.
