For 39 days of a glorious summer, New Zealand has been honoured with the presence of the Sovereign and her consort.
From north, south, east and west, countless thousands have thronged to see and acclaim the Royal visitors.
Wherever the Queen has gone, there too have the cameras followed. The great and historic moments, the small and endearing incidents, have alike been recorded.
Staff photographers of the Weekly News first met the Royal travellers in Fiji, accompanied them to Tonga and through the length and breadth of New Zealand, and bid them farewell at Bluff. With a few exceptions, the photographs in this book are the selected fruits of their work.
They are presented in this form as a permanent souvenir of a treasured and unique occasion.
