May 20, 1991 – Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II visits Tampa as part of her two-week tour of the United States. During her brief time in Tampa, the Queen visited the Tampa City Center Esplanade on Franklin Avenue, the University of Tampa, and MacDill Air Force Base. She also awarded U.S. Army Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf an honorary knighthood during a ceremony in his office at MacDill. Her Majesty’s yacht Brittania, which brought Queen Elizabeth to Tampa, remained docked at Harbour Island for the remainder of the week while the Queen continued her tour of the United States.

Didn’t the queen fly in on the Concorde? I can remember that it flew into Tampa International Airport with much fanfare….

She definitely left on the Concorde. I believe from Tampa she flew on to Texas.
