The Great Yorkshire Show released a statement to say:
We are deeply saddened to hear of the death of Her Majesty The Queen and send our sincere condolences to the Royal Family at this sad time.
The Royal Family and Her Majesty The Queen have been an integral part of the Societys heritage since it first formed in 1837.
The Queen was the first female Patron of the Society and remained so for 45 years from 1952 to 1997. TRH Prince of Wales has been the Societys Patron since 1998.
Her Majesty first visited the Great Yorkshire Show in 1949, before becoming Queen, and went on to visit a number of times over the years before a final visit in 2008 with The Duke of Edinburgh. During the visit, The Queen unveiled a plaque to mark the start of the construction of Fodder and the adjoining Yorkshire Agricultural Society offices.
The Society is honoured to have had the privilege of The Queen supporting the work it does for agriculture as both our Patron and as our guest.

Farmer draws tribute in stubble crop
Arable farmer Jonny Storey, who farms in Feltwell, Norkfolk, has drawn the initials of Queen Elizabeth II on his ex winter wheat crop stubble as a mark of respect.
Talking to草榴社区 GuardianMr Storey said: "Our family strongly believes in The Royal Family so we felt we should do something to show some respect for the Queen.
"It took five hours to programme the computer in the tractor and draw out her initials in the field, which was due to be cultivated anyway.
"草榴社区 were very appreciative of the Queen's support and we know she was a real country lady. It was the least we could do."
