Summary

[edit]
Description

Timaru locals perched on a bank to wave at Queen Elizabeth II as she passed in the Royal Train on 25 January 1954.

Shown here is the Royal Train sweeping through a cutting near Timaru, with Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh standing at the back so they could greet those who had turned out to see them. This is one of many images of the Royal train journey taken by the Queen and Duke during their tour. 84 photographs have been digitised and can be downloaded and viewed on Archway. To access the list select the advanced record search option, put 6390 in the series field and 181 in the box number field.

Train was only one mode of transport used by the Royals during this tour. They also travelled by road and, for the first time, by aeroplane.
