King Charles III, the Princess of Wales, who died in 1997, Prince William and Prince Harry are among those to have visited the Steel City over the years.
The late Queen and Queen Mother also visited.
We have put together a gallery looking back at some of those visits to the city over the years.
Our picture gallery shows visits over the last five decades.
