A major highlight of our Regimental life has been our participation in the ceremonies connected with the visit of Her Majesty the Queen and H.R.H. The Duke of Edinburgh.
The accompanying photograph shows W02 (then S./Sgt.) C. Gason attending Her Majesty.
The second photograph shows the Regimental Guard of Honour awaiting the arrival of Her Majesty for the State Opening of the Victorian Parliament.
