“She visited us on many occasions across the decades and I know that the lives that she touched, they will never forget that moment.”
Also in attendance was the leader of Leeds City Council, Cllr James Lewis, who has been speaking to members of the public over the weekend about the Queen’s death.
"People have been talking about her steadfastness; she’s been the one constant as the country has changed around them,” he said. "What’s really interesting is people’s memory of her visits to Leeds over the last 70 years. I remember as a five-year-old, lining up alongside the Coal Road in Whinmoor to open up a new factory, and lots if people have those memories of the Queen’s visits to Leeds.”
