Hello everyone,

The sad death of Queen Elizabeth II has dominated our thinking here in the archives this week and we've found some brilliant images of Her Majesty visiting Preston, and also visits by King Charles III.

We also turned our eye towards some of Preston's very own royalty - Preston North End players of the past. The 90s was a mixed bag of seasons for the Lilywhites - how many of these players do you remember?

Then it was the turn of 1983 to look back at some of your memories in Preston, Blackpool and across Lancashire.

And finally we rounded off the week with a last little look back at those cute school starter pictures from the noughties:

We hope you enjoy these nostalgic pictures. Until next week...
