Her majesty in Miami: When Queen Elizabeth II came to town

Flashback: England's Queen Elizabeth II, who died Thursday at 96, visited Miami 31 years ago, making stops at Vizcaya and Booker T. Washington Middle School in Overtown.

• It was part of a 10-day trip that included stops in Washington, D.C., Texas and Kentucky, per NBC 6.

The itinerary: Elizabeth listened to the Booker T. Washington marching band and watched a play about the history of Miami performed by students from the New World School of the Arts, according to the Miami Herald.

• She ended the night with a black-tie dinner aboard her yacht Britannia, where former U.S. Presidents Ford and Reagan schmoozed with Florida powerbrokers.

Not all happy: Protesters and members of the Miami boycott movement shouted at the queen along her route, the Herald reported.

• Some carried signs reading "Remember Mandela," referring to when Miami city leaders snubbed former South African president Nelson Mandela when he visited the year before.
• Others protested prison conditions in Britain's prison at Fox Hill in Nassau, the Bahamas.

Souvenirs: Queen Elizabeth, who also visited the Dry Tortugas in the Keys, received a number of only-in-Florida tributes. They included:

• A queen conch shell
• A copy of “The Everglades: River of Grass” by Marjory Stoneman Douglas in a velvet-lined wooden box. (The author met the queen during her visit)
• A three-dimensional picture depicting the queen at Vizcaya with flamingos overhead.

Go deeper: The Herald compiled reporting from the royal visit and published a video of local TV coverage.
