Next week, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her Diamond Jubilee following her accession to the throne in 1952. To mark this memorable occasion, the Observer has produced a special souvenir supplement which can be found inside this week's issue. It features fascinating facts, photographs of past royal visits to the county, messages from local civic leaders, as well as readers' own personal memories of meeting the Queen. We hope you enjoy it.
