1973: Queen Elizabeth II at the Official Opening of Sydney Opera House, October 1973 

this probably one of the most difficult speeches she had to do, what a strong WIND!! Imagine she had to try to keep standing strong & hold into that paper & read it & she's one petite lady!! Well done your majesty!! LOL

The queen was very beautiful! I was charmed by it when I was young!

I am from Kazakhstan and one of my goals in my life is to see Sydney Opera. The building awes me even in the video.

This iconic moment holds great memories for me, because I was there in 1973 as a 13 year old up on the green hill overlooking the Opera House and the Queens speech. Today I have a limited edition (56 of 100) Bausele watch to celebrate the occasion complete with a piece of the roof tiles from the Opera House in the crown. I also voiced the Corporate Video for the launch of this watch. @waltdevoice

one thing; thank God she got that HAT & didn't fly off in the middle of speech!! LOL

Windy!!

Does anyone have footage of the Aboriginal dancers at this opening?

Queen Elizabeth looking THICCCCC

is that barry humphries in the back? :D

The Lady Susan Hussey looks a trifle bored. She's probably wondering when HM's going to give her that groovy hat.
