People asked to share memories of Queen Elizabeth II

People across Shropshire have been asked to include their memories of the late Queen Elizabeth II in a new digital map.

The Queen Elizabeth Memorial Committee said it was beginning to map places connected to the late monarch's "extraordinary life, service and legacy".

Joe Garner, from the committee, told BBC Radio Shropshire that her visits to the area included to the Much Wenlock Sports Centre in July 2003 to celebrate the Wenlock Olympian Society.

The digital archive has been created to preserve people's memories of the late Queen for future generations.

Queen Elizabeth II died in 2022 at the age of 96, and would have turned 100 on 21 April this year.

Garner said of the digital map: "You can explore and see where she went, and now you can see people's memories of her visits there as well."

Her visit with the Duke of Edinburgh to Shropshire in 2003, saw the couple arrive in Telford on the Royal Train.

They joined in the town's 40th birthday celebrations, where around 1,000 children sang.

Shropshire Council previously said the couple visited Shrewsbury School, which was marking its 400th anniversary, and Shrewsbury Castle in October 1952, on one of her first visits as the new monarch.

Garner said another one of the late Queen's visits included Dothill County Junior School in Telford in 1967.

"If those trigger memories and people go 'oh yeah I remember her coming here' they can click on the website and submit their memory of the late Queen," he said.

Garner added that people can add their recollections, even if they never saw her personally.

"Even if they didn't meet the Queen, what did she mean to them, or what do they remember [of her]?

"They can pin those to a place on the map on the website."
