Clip description

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh visit their loyal subjects in Victoria in 1977. We see them disembark from their plane to be greeted by dignitaries, and a crowd of children waving flags. They move through the crowd, stopping to talk to particular children.

Curator’s notes

A straightforward coverage of the event. It is interesting to see the crowd of media following the royal couple, as this was an unusual and high profile visit.
