The late Queen Elizabeth II, the then-Prince Charles, the Wessexes, Princess Anne and Princess Alexandra have all made trips to the district – and crowds have always turned out in their thousands to welcome them.
We recently featured a selection of photos from our archives from some of those visits – including rare glass plate images of when King George V and Queen Mary came to Lancaster in 1912 – and here we feature more of our old photographs from those royal occasions.
