Photographs on this page by Patrick Trollope
IT has been 60
years since the royal couple made their first official visit to
Liverpool and it was fantastic to have them in Liverpool again as we
embark on a new course in the history for Liverpool. After arriving
in Liverpool on 21 May 2008, at Liverpool Lime Street Station,
dressed in a pale pink outfit with a pale pink hat, black gloves and
black shoes, her visit took her to Liverpool ONE and the Liverpool
Arena, stopping off at St Georges Hall for lunch. The Queen, during
her visit, spoke of how impressed she was by developments in
Liverpool. Throughout her tour she met artists, performers and
watched a dance routine by the group, Collision, comprising
schoolchildren from the city, aged seven to seventeen. Tim Banfield,
Arena General Manager told the media that:- "The facility was
fully completed last month and The Queen’s visit marked its formal
opening. Everyone was very excited about The Queen and His Royal
Highness visiting Liverpool and coming to see the fantastic facility
which we have here on the waterfront."
