Queen’s Platinum Jubiliee: 10 pictures of Queen Elizabeth II visiting Glasgow in the ‘50s and ‘60s

Queen Elizabeth II has made several visits to Glasgow since her coronation in 1953.

Her first was that same year, when thousands of people turned out to catch a glimpse of her during the post-coronation tour.

Since then, she has made several appearances – including a visit to the Gorbals in the late ‘50s, and when the city hosted the Royal Variety Show.

Here are 10 pictures of when Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Phillip, visited Glasgow.
