In Pictures: Queen Elizabeth II visits the Maritimes
Throughout her 70-year reign, Queen Elizabeth II visited the Maritimes on numerous occasions, participating in local events and touring different communities in all three provinces.

She made her final visit to the region in the summer of 2010, as part of a nine-day Canadian tour.

She died Thursday at the age of 96.
