A collection of 22 images, celebrate the Queen’s visits to Nottingham over the last 70 years from the Coronation tour in 1955 through to her most recent visit for the Diamond Jubilee in 2012. The images also look at how Nottingham people have celebrated significant royal occasions over the years. It is hoped many people will enjoy coming to visit this exhibition, and to reminisce about the many times the Queen has visited the city during her reign.
Images chosen by a panel of experts from the city and county archives, have been collected from a range of partners. The exhibition is sponsored by Geldards - one of the country’s leading law firms. Members of their team helped to select the final images for the exhibition.

What a superb retrospective on Her Majesty’s visits to Nottingham during her reign, we hope that many people will visit Old Market Square over the Platinum Jubilee weekend to enjoy the exhibition.”
