Happy Birthday Your Majesty - our tribute to the Queen with nine photos of her visits to Sunderland and County Durham

Her Majesty the Queen is 96 today and we are sending our best wishes with a look back on some of her great moments in Wearside and County Durham.

Crowds have turned out in their thousands to see her on visits to the Stadium of Light Metro Station, Washington School, Easington, Sunderland station and the Riverside cricket ground in Chester-le-Street.

They were all great occasions but were you there to enjoy them? See if these photos bring back memories.
