Preparing Brisbane City Hall for the royal visit in 1954

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  On 9 March 1954, Queen Elizabeth II made history by being the first-ever reigning monarch to set foot in Queensland. With her husband Prince Phillip in tow, the then 27-year old monarch arrived in Brisbane to much fanfare and excitement. The Queen’s entourage, a modest collection of 38 staff, were on hand at all times to ensure that royal protocol was upheld as Her Majesty navigated her royal duties despite what the UK newspaper’s described as a “sultry heat”. The royal visit attracted seven million people, who came out to catch a glimpse of the newly-crowned monarch, and every minute of the tour was meticulously planned from the elaborate motorcade processions to the glittering Lord Mayor’s Royal Ball which brought a touch of glitz and glamour to City Hall.

One of her propellers

  The Handley Page O/400 had two Rolls-Royce engines, not four. The four-engine Handley Page was the V/1500, an even more gigantic aircraft. (Incidentally, in the type designation O/400, the character before the slash is a capital letter O. Handley Page used letters to designate its early types, and the O/400 was a version of the Type O. It's extremely common for sources to use a zero instead, but still incorrect.)
