I invite Dallas residents to come to Dallas City Hall to participate in this special occasion.”

The Queen died last week at the age of 96, ending a 70-year reign over the United Kingdom. In 1991, Queen Elizabeth II made an official visit to Dallas, becoming the first Monarch to set foot in the city

During the trip, the Queen visited the Hall of State at Fair Park with then-Mayor Annette Strauss. The visit marked the 150th anniversary of the city’s founding.
