On This Day in Australia

1973 - Queen Elizabeth II accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh opened the Sydney Opera House. Seems it was a very very windy day, much like it is here in Scotland today.

Another couple of videos of the day

Very windy is an understatement, it looked like gale force winds. Her Majesty did a wonderful job staying upright during her speech and she didn't lose the papers it was written on. I love the fact that HM was flustered at all with the wind, but got on with things.
