In Pictures: Queen Elizabeth II's strong links with Berkshire

Many people mourning the death of Queen Elizabeth II have been travelling to her Berkshire home to lay flowers and pay their respects.

But the Queen also had a special association with the whole county, going back to her childhood.

Here we take a look back at some of those connections.
