Horsham nostalgia: Were you in the crowd when the Queen visited in 2003?

The Queen paid Horsham a special visit in October 2003, and the crowds turned out in full force to welcome Her Majesty to our town.

People of all ages came out to line the route and wave at our Royal visitor as her car travelled through the Carfax and onto North Street.

Accompanied by Prince Philip, the Monarch opened the refurbished Capitol theatre, and unveiled the sculpture in the newly-created Forum, our heritage sundail, before visiting Christ’s Hospital.

Here are a few of the pictures our photogaphers captured on the day - can you spot any familiar faces in the crowd?
