Between her coronation and her Golden Jubilee, Queen Elizabeth came to Canada 19 times, touring every province and territory, from the smallest village to the nation's capital. Along the way, she has met thousands of Canadians from coast to coast and made an impression on hundreds of thousands more.
On the 50th anniversary of her ascension to the throne, listeners call the CBC's Vox Box to tell their stories of brushes with royalty.

• In addition to official visits, Queen Elizabeth has also made 10 stopovers in Canada en route to other countries between her coronation and Golden Jubilee. Most of these have been in Gander, Nfld. or Vancouver, B.C.
• While he normally accompanies Her Majesty on royal visits, Prince Philip has also made nine official visits to Canada on his own, as well as 20 private visits (usually to attend conferences or awards ceremonies) during this period.
