Trish Briggs Cindy Briggs Linda Griffin Cushla Ellis

Cindy Briggs Its not 1977 - probably 1970?

Trish Briggs Didn't see that. Yes 1970 Laura Mills Detlaff

Trish Briggs Think he may have been on the Fair Committee Don Hutton

Don Hutton Trish Briggs OK. I played rugby against and with him in the 1950s.

Christine Farrell Remember that

Jeanette Coll Great photo Trish. I remember seeing the Queen and remember how beautiful her skin was.

Pauline Walsh I rember seeing her when she came to grey

Carol Stewart This has Prince Charles and Princess Anne so is more likely to be the 1970 Royal Visit not 1977.

Dennis Gibbs Cool!

Tony Ring When I was in the Police I accidentally elbowed the Duke in his stomach during the walk around opposite the Rec Hotel.
Caused a few problems.
Silly old bugger had walked ahead of the queen and then suddenly turned around as I was walking behind him.

Tony Ring This was in 76/77.

Doreen Thomson This looks like the 1970 visit and Greymouth was able to call it a Royal Show It was the showing of the Wool show compared by Godfrey Bowen and the team and the sheep who went to the world fair in Osaka in Japan

Bill Johnsen looks like Mike Scully behind the Duke and the O'Connell girls other side photo left with glasses ...perhaps not...

Pauline Thompson I was in the Girls Brigade in Greymouth when the Queen visited.... I was standing proudly in my uniform and she approached me.... I was in shock. I still remember

Ken Lavender What were they smiling at

Irene Gallagher The lady standing behind the Queen with White hair & glasses is May Dixon.
Ray Vincent Couple of instances i recall, some friends dressing up themselves and they big black car and driving toward Grey from Hoki pretending woke the crowd up along the way.. they will know who they are? While at the fair we managed to get to sit in the Queens Rolls while they were off with the crowd, imagine doing that today!

Brian Steele I was there

Debbie Ansett I was there and got a great close up photo.
Linda Griffin Yes 1970

Frances Keating I could pick your Mum straight off. How cool.

Cheryl Riley I was reporting in those days and, if I remember correctly, the Queen wore pink and changed her clothes at the Carke's motels close to the Recreation.
