The Queen maintained a close relationship with countries in the British Commonwealth, which consists mainly of former British colonies.
One of these countries is Ghana in West Africa, which gained independence in 1957.
The Queen decided to visit the country in 1961, also so that Ghana would not get too close to the Soviet Union.
The visit was remembered as a success, and the most famous moment was when the Queen and the President of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah, danced together.
