I remember it cause it was on my birthday, it was on the 12th of december.

i remember going to stand around hillsborough corner,with a little flag to wave

Why did she do that?

Did the royal convoy get lost on the way to somewhere else? OR did she fancy a pork sarnie for lunch?

it must have been in the 80`s as i remember i was at junior school

she officially opened the new kop end with the roof on.

at SWFC

She also visited Hillsborough Park in 1977 for her Silver Jubilee. We were taken with school to wave flags at her as she was driven slowly around the running track. She was in and out in about 10 minutes I think.

The people who grinned themselves to death
Smiled so much they failed to take a breath
Even when their kids we're starving
They all thought the Queen was Charming.

It's a shame someone couldn't impale the Queens head on a spike on that day. Not that i'm anti-monarchy or owt

I can rememebr the Queen coming to Sheffield around 1990 as I was trying to hitchhike off Parkway off to see a band somewhere and got moved (sadly back into town not up to the M1) by the Police trying to "tidy" things up..

:(

You are too young then the remember the King & queen coming to open the ladybower dam then

She first visited the Wednesday ground in 1953

i remember this visit, we were travelling down holme lane going home when we had to pull in to let her past

I don,t think she even stayed 10 minutes when i saw her.

I was there,went with school,pretty boring really,I remember it to be fairly disappointing.As was when we saw Diana at St.Lukes,waited for ages in the rain,she was late and just drove past,I was only little and expected it to be almost magical to meet a real princess!

It's a waste of time, if you know what I mean,
try shaking your box in front of the Queen
'Cos her purse is fat and burstin' at the seams
it's a waste of time, if you know what that means

Not that I agree with the senitment, but I love a bit of Housemartins. I put "Sitting on a Fence" on myspace the other day - bit of nostalgia...

Oh, and I remember her passing on Penistone Road in 1977.

I was there. It was for the opening of the then new covered kop at Sheffield Wednesday.

Oh my god! i was there, i totally forgot about that and im a blade.....i went with school too!

sure do

we got complimentary tickets because i was the mascot -v- everton (first game under new kop roof). i remember having the day off school to go and after the ceremony we got on the bus back to town and our class and teacher were on the same bus :hihi: :hihi:

i was their too, i played for the juniors at the time we had to do a welcoming party on the pitch

If i remember rightly, they sat us on the kop aswell.

I went as a kid with school and we had to do some crazy country dancing routine which of course she never saw. My dad went mad that the school had taken me as he was a fervent anti-monarchist.

Lol i thought you were gonna say, because he was a blade.

Went with school also, as a girl in my class's dad had designed the cop and our teachers old fella was an director @ wednesday. This got us front row seats, she was in the directors box if I remember rightly? After queen had gone they passed around a tartan car rug that she had to keep her warm for us all to get a grab at. ahh bless.

I was there too - singing in the choir believe it or not - luckily nobody on here knows who I am ha ha ha.

I remember her coming in 1977 she was going by in the back of her car waving, they were just driving by the bottom gates of hillsborough park on penistone rd and i were stood with my family opposite outside the paper shop..(that used to be there at the time) I would of been 6 at the time.:)

Don't always bet on that lol

Don't always bet on that lol

Naa - I think Im safe in the knowledge!!!

I saw her once in town not that long ago. I wasn't expecting it. I was just walking up from work into town and suddenly there she was having a walk about on Surrey Street! I think it had something to do with the Millenium Gallery. It was quite a shock and she is really short!

1986?? I was 4, I can remember it though.

I can beat all you "youngsters".

She came when I was about 12 or 13, around 1955. All the schools in the Hillsborough area sent some of their kids to march around the pitch and eventually to form a massive Union Jack flag. Can't remember why she came.
