TODAY, the Queen celebrates another remarkable milestone in her reign.

She is the first British monarch to reach a Blue Sapphire Jubilee - 65 years since she ascended the throne.

So it prompted us to take a trip down memory lane and delve into our archives to get photographs of her coming to East Lancashire during her record-breaking reign and readers celebrating her visits.

There will be a photo gallery online packed with lots more images so take a look at our website.
