In 1966, Queen Elizabeth II visited British Guyana, and Allicot's very own mother was chosen to meet the queen as a school girl.
Her mother described the queen as "beautiful and gracious," and meeting her is a moment she'll never forget.
Allicot was also born in Guyana after the country became a member of the Commonwealth and is grateful to be able to represent her family while the world says its final goodbyes to the monarch.
You can watch more of her account in the video player above.
