Her Majesty is visiting Margate today - the latest in a long
line of auspicious occasions for the people of Kent.
Throughout her reign - and even before - the Queen has changed
the lives of thousands of Kent fans, young and old.
Here we review at some of her recent visits to the county, and
take a (mostly) black and white nostalgic stroll down royal memory
lane, with our picture gallery selection of visits through the
ages.
