Summary

[edit]
Description

Sir Bernard Fergusson (1911-1980) was New Zealand's tenth Governor General, and the fourth member of his family to hold the position of Governor-General or Governor. Born in England, Fergusson served in the British Army in World War Two, and in the British Mandate of Palestine in the post-war period. He then held positions of command during the Malayan Emergency and the Suez Crisis, before being appointed Governor General of New Zealand on 9 November 1962. His father Sir Charles Fergusson had also been Governor General, from 1924 - 1930, and both of his grandfathers Sir James Fergusson, 6th Baronet and David Boyle, 7th Earl of Glasgow, had been Governors of New Zealand. His son, George Fergusson, was British High Commissioner to New Zealand from 2006 - 2010, and is the current Governor of Bermuda.


This menu is from a state luncheon given to farewell Fergusson when he retired from the position of Governor General in 1967. The lunch was attended by numerous dignitaries, including the Prime Minister at the time, Keith Holyoake, and leader of the Opposition and future Prime Minister, Norman Kirk. It lists the toasts made at the start of the event, and gives the full menu and wine list served at the lunch. This archive comes from a series of Internal Affairs records relating to royal tours, distinguished visitors and state occasions.
