The late Queen visited Brighton and Hove at least half a dozen times during her 70-year reign and was greeted on each occasion by crowds of well-wishers.
On her first visit – as Princess Elizabeth – on Tuesday 4 December 1945, she reviewed the troops at the King Alfred.
Months after the end of the Second World War, it was still a naval training base, known at the time as HMS King Alfred.
And, from there, the teenage princess went on to visit Preston Manor, in Brighton, home to the influential Stanford family in the 19th century and early 20th century.
Details of this visit and later visits have been shared by Brighton and Hove City Council.
And below are pictures from some of those visits taken either by the official photographer or royal rota “pool” photographers who recorded each occasion.
On Friday 18 May 1951, Princess Elizabeth visited Brighton and Hove during a tour of Sussex which also took in Lewes and Hastings.
She visited the Palace Pier, in Brighton, the Royal Pavilion and the old Hove Town Hall, designed by Alfred Waterhouse, which was demolished after being damaged by fire in 1966.
On Monday 16 July 1962, the Queen opened Hangleton Library while she and the Duke of Edinburgh formally marked the renovation of George Street, in Hove, and visited Brighton College.
Just over two years later, Friday 13 November 1964, the Queen officially opened the main library at Sussex University.
The university had been founded just three years earlier and, while on the Falmer campus, designed by Basil Spence, she also spent time in the students’ union.
On Thursday 31 May 1979, the Queen officially opened Brighton Marina – the largest man-made marina in Europe at the time – accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh.
They were welcomed by the Mayor of Brighton, Dennis Hobden, a veteran councillor who had made history in 1964 when he became the first Labour MP to be elected in Sussex.
The Queen and Prince Philip also took a stroll through the shopping streets of The Lanes, in the historic heart of Brighton before heading to Lewes.
On Thursday 29 March 2001, months after Brighton and Hove became a city, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh met children from four local schools.
The youngsters were from Aldrington Church of England Primary School, Hillside special school, now Hill Park School, Knoll Infant School and Goldstone Junior School.
On the thirty first day of January in the forty ninth year of our reign (viz: 2001), she granted City status. In March, there was an event in the Corn Exchange to celebrate that fact.
From the street balcony of the Theatre Royal she watched a performance in New Road by the Bicycle Ballet and, afterwards, was introduced to the people who had danced with their bikes. One of them invited her to take part in the upcoming Naked Bike Ride.
