Editing Sheridan, Wyoming (section)

== Representation in media ==
In 1984, [[Queen Elizabeth II]] visited Sheridan and stayed at Canyon Ranch as a guest of Wyoming U.S. Senator [[Malcolm Wallop]], the brother of lifetime friend Lady Porchester whose husband, [[George Herbert, 8th Earl of Carnarvon]], was the queen's godson. It remained rather unpublicized before local reports of the Queen shopping at local stores caused international media outlets to hound the area, seeking to capture the obscure idea of British monarchy gathering at a ranch in the "Old West" nestled beneath the Rocky Mountains. Coverage drastically intensified the following day with the [[Brighton hotel bombing]], a nearly successful assassination attempt on Prime Minister [[Margaret Thatcher]], and reports of the Queen's impromptu call with President [[Ronald Reagan]] to discuss the matter.<ref>{{cite news|last=Associated Press|title=Ranch's Royal Guest Arrives for Weekend|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1984/10/13/us/ranch-s-royal-guest-arrives-for-weekend.html|access-date=March 3, 2014|newspaper=The New York Times|date=October 13, 1984}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=United Press International|title=Queen Elizabeth II, vacationing quietly in Wyoming, received a...|url=http://www.upi.com/Archives/1984/10/14/Queen-Elizabeth-II-vacationing-quietly-in-Wyoming-received-a/5415466574400/}}</ref>
