Summary

[edit]
Description

HM Queen Elizabeth II was crowned on 2 June 1953. In November she started a long Commonwealth tour, starting in the Caribbean, then on to the Pacific. She visited 46 towns and cities in New Zealand over the Christmas period and through January.

The SS Gothic arrived in Auckland 23 December 1953, and on Christmas Eve she visited Auckland Hospital in the morning and attended a youth event in Auckland Domain in the afternoon. On Christmas Day she made the Christmas Broadcast from old Government House in Auckland.

This photograph, shows her and the Duke of Edinburgh visiting Auckland Hospital, and clearly demonstrates the meaning of “toeing the line”!

The photograph is from records of the Auckland School of Nursing.
