On 21 April 2020, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her 94th birthday. The year also marks the 50th anniversary of Her Majesty’s third visit to Australia. The Queen was accompanied on the 1970 tour by their Royal Highnesses Prince Philip, Prince Charles (for part of the visit) and Princess Anne. The five-week tour was popular with Australians, and coincided with the bicentenary events of Captain Cook’s voyage up the east coast of Australia. The royal family was greeted by enthusiastic crowds as it travelled through New South Wales, Tasmania, Victoria, Queensland and Australian Capital Territory, before leaving for New Zealand in early May. Determined to meet as many ordinary citizens as possible, the Queen would stop and engage with the countless individuals, both young and old, who welcomed her wherever she went.
