It has been two whole years since Her Majesty the Queen came to visit our hometown (can you believe it).

Queen Elizabeth was given a tour of the new town centre The Lexicon by council representatives as hundreds of excited locals came to see her.

Crowds descended on the Friday (October 19) to get a glimpse of the Queen and she was welcomed by hundreds of residents, before taking a tour around the shopping centre.

Bracknell’s old and young came out to see Her Majesty in person and one lucky resident told the News about her encounter with the Queen.

Georgie Redding-Lang said: “It was absolutely amazing. We brought flowers for her and she took them from me.

“She smiled at me and I said “hello your Majesty, you look gorgeous today”, and she said “thank you very much” - it was very special.”

Others described the day as “fantastic”, “perfect” and “brilliant for Bracknell.”

When she arrived in the town, she was greeted by councillor Paul Bettison and unveiled a plaque to commemorate the regeneration of the town.

The Queen was also greeted by more than 75 primary schoolchildren outside The Bull and at Union Square .

Her majesty was introduced to a number of key staff from the town centre regeneration's teams, before she walked down Braccan Walk North and saw what the new space had to offer.

The Queen then went into Fenwick department store where she was greeted by two-year-old Alba Fenwick Kelly who presented flowers before The Queen.

Orchestra Berkshire Maestros provided an inspiring performance for the The Queen who was handed another set of flowers by two children from Birch Hill Primary School.
