(6 Jul 1970) A new session of Parliament is opened by Her Majesty the Queen and the rich ceremonial which is part of Britain's National Heritage. ® Accompanied for the first time at the State Opening by the Prince of Wales and Princess Anne, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh drive to the Palace of Westminster in the Irish State Coach. ® A fanfare announces Her Majesty's entrance into the Royal Gallery and the solemn procession to the Throne begins. In the Chamber of the House of Lords, the sumptuous setting in red and gold is enhanced by the robes of the waiting Peers, Judges, Bishops and Diplomats. ® At Her Majesty's Command, the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod goes to summon the Faithful Commons. His way is barred and he knocks three times to gain entry to the Lower House. Then the Speaker, The Prime Minister, the Leader of the Opposition and the Members of the Commons file into the House of Lords to hear the Queen read her "Gracious Speech from the Throne".
