Memories .. HJ meets the Queen


Memories.... HJ meets the Queen

Some of my entries in this blog will be memories which have been inspired by old photos.

When living in Cairns we were fortunate to have a visit to the city from Queen Elizabeth . This seems no big deal now but then it was for a small city like Cairns. Somehow the School Captains were invited, however my daughter was not a school captain but as she had her birthday on the day of the visit and had sent 2 letters to Her Majesty and received a reply, the primary school allowed her to attend. I went with her and watched as she was speechless as she gave Queen Elizabeth a bouquet of Australian flowers.
I also remember the class making an itinerary for the Queen, places to visit around Cairns. The Queen was in Cairns Commissioning a new aircraft for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.





Love the Itinerary and the reminder to Slip, Slop,Slap.



Proud Mum
