ON April 21 the Queen will be turning 90 and a number of events will be held across the country to celebrate the occasion.
We enjoyed a visit from Her Majesty in 2009 when she and the Duke of Edinburgh visited the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy.
They also visited Weymouth Beach and headed into Purbeck to visit the Tank Museum at Bovington and Goldy’s Farm Shop at Lytchett Matravers.
We would like to hear of your memories and encounters with Queen. Send any photos to newsdesk@dorsetecho.co.uk or call 01305 830999.
