The Queen, accompanied by The Duke of Edinburgh, attend a service at Sheffield Cathedral today Thursday April 2nd. The Queen will hand out the traditional Maundy money. Every year at Easter, Her Majesty The Queen presents special to local pensioners in a UK cathedral or abbey. Today's recipients of Royal Maundy, as many elderly men and women as there are years in the sovereign's age, are chosen because of the Christian service they have given to the Church and community. At the ceremony which takes place annually on Maundy Thursday, the sovereign hands to each recipient two small leather string purses. One, a red purse, contains - in ordinary coinage - money in lieu of food and clothing; the other, a white purse, contains silver Maundy coins consisting of the same number of pence as the years of the sovereign's age.

After the tragic news surrounding Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, the nation has gone into mourning.

Her importance to our region and the country could not be understated, with many in the country never knowing a time when Her Majesty was not the Head of State.

During her long, inspiring reign, Her Majesty made a number of trips to Sheffield, South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire.

Crowds of people were always in attendance for these visits because of the admiration many have for The Queen.

We take a look back at those visits, as we thank her for her leadership.

Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh attended the Royal Maundy Service at Sheffield Cathedral on Thursday April 2, 2015.
