Following the sad news about the Queen earlier today (Thursday), we would like to give readers the opportunity to share their memories and pictures of her.
We know many Islanders met the Queen during her official visits to the Isle of Wight, as well as at the countless garden parties, charity functions and other engagements over the years.
We would love to hear how you met her – and we may feature your stories on the website or in the newspaper.
Did you meet her during her last visit to Cowes in 2012? Or perhaps in 2004, 1987, 1968 or 1965?
