BBC News looks back at the Queen's many trips to the south-west of England.

In 2011, the Queen opened a new school on the Isles of Scilly and two years later visited St Michael's Mount where she toured the ramparts and left impressions of her feet - literally following in the footsteps of her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria who did the same in 1846. In the decades that followed, the Queen made many trips to the South West including two to distribute Maundy money - at Exeter in 1983 and 11 years later in Truro, which was the first time the ceremony had been held in Cornwall. Princess Elizabeth acceded to the throne in 1952 and after the coronation her trips to the South West continued. During a visit to the South West in 2018, the Queen paid tribute to HMS Ocean and those who sailed on the vessel. In a speech to mark the decommissioning of the fleet flagship in Plymouth, she commended the "unique and remarkable vessel". From her visit to Cornwall for the G7 summit to her military connections, the Queen has been a frequent visitor to the south-west of England.
