After the tragic announcement that Queen Elizabeth passed away at Balmoral on Thursday, we have taken a look back through our archives to find pictures of when she visited North Kirklees.
Here are eleven pictures of when the Queen and Prince Phillip visited Dewsbury and Batley in October 1954 and when she visited Cleckheaton as a Princess.
