YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (KFSN) — As the world mourns the death of Queen Elizabeth II after 70 years on the throne, ABC30 went to the archives for her visit to Yosemite National Park.

The queen visited the park in 1983, and Action News Anchor Nancy Osborne took the trip to preview her visit.

The queen’s trip was marred by tragedy when three secret service agents involved with her visit were killed in a crash.
