Her Majesty The Queen's Silver Jubilee, marking the 25th anniversary of her accession, was a year of celebrations across the British Isles. Six Jubilee tours took place in the UK and Northern Ireland, covering 36 counties. The Queen’s tour of North London included visits to Camden, Islington and Hackney, and wherever she went she was greeted by flag-waving crowds, cheering with enormous warmth and enthusiasm. This photograph records The Queen's visit to Highbury Fields.

During the Silver Jubilee year more than 100,000 congratulatory cards were received by The Queen and 30,000 Jubilee medals were distributed.
