THE QUEEN visited York and North Yorkshire many times over the decades.

She will have met many local people during that time - not to mention the many thousands of well wishers who lined the streets at every Royal visit.

Her death, aged 96, will touch many of us - and our thoughts are with her family at this sad time.

If you would like to leave a personal message, share a memory - maybe even a photo - or pay tribute to the Queen you can do so via our online book of condolence.
