A look through our archives shows it was a busy year with the late Queen’s visit to Morecambe in July to unveil the Eric Morecambe statue one of the highlights.
We’ve included a couple of crowd shots taken during her visit as well as lots of other photo memories from the same year.
Have a look and see if you can spot yourself or anyone you know in this pictorial record of 1999.
