In 1976, Queen Elizabeth II visited the United States as the country celebrated its 200th birthday. Her last stop on the tour was Boston:
on July 11, 1976, that she spent her last day in the country in Boston"with its Revolutionary past and heavily Irish present. She was received with applause by large, friendly crowds and restrained protest by a relatively small number of demonstrators."
