Your messages for the Queen

The Queen graces the cover of HELLO! Canada's Special Collector's Edition. (HELLO! Canada)

Canadians are set to welcome the Queen and her husband, Prince Philip, as they kick off their official visit in Halifax on Monday.
 
The Queen will travel through the country from June 28 to July 6, stopping in Winnipeg, and Waterloo, Ottawa and Toronto in Ontario, during the Royal couple's nine-day tour.
 
The trip, which was announced last summer, will be the Queen's 24th official visit to Canada. Her last visit was in 2005.
 
Notes and greetings have already been pouring in. Richard and Larry from Windsor, Ont., sent an email, saying, "We wish to welcome you to Canada during your 24th visit here. We pray you will enjoy a safe and pleasant journey and wish you only the best during your stay with us. God save our Queen!"
 
Elizabeth Victoria Davis, who was named after the Queen, had a few kind words. "I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your devoted service to the Realm," she wrote in an email. "Through good times and bad you have been there for your subjects." 
 
A few of you shared your favourite memories of the Queen.

"I met the Queen when I was 6, when she was in Vancouver for the opening of Science World," wrote David Muskeyn on Facebook. "The day prior, I had 2 hours of etiquette lessons - I'm not sure that any of it really stuck, because I shook her hand and asked if she wanted to go get some popcorn from the snack bar downstairs."
