HM The Queen's Cathedral visits

Norwich Cathedral welcomed Her late Majesty The Queen three times during her reign. Most recently The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh visited in May 2010 to officially open the Cathedral's new Refectory and Hostry.

Her Majesty also visited the Cathedral on Maundy Thursday in April 1996 as part of the Cathedral’s 900th anniversary celebrations and in April 1975 for the opening of the Cathedral’s then visitor centre.

Prior to becoming Queen, the then Princess Elizabeth visited Norwich Cathedral in 1951 as part of a tour of the city.

Statues of The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh were also installed in the Cloister in 2018 to mark the 65th anniversary of the Queen’s Coronation.
