Description |
Record of Queen Elizabeth II's visit to Burnley in 1968. Preparations are made as part of 'Operation Spring Clean' to decorate and clean local buildings and set up a covered stage outside St Peter's Church. Clergymen, councillors, dignitaries and members of local organisations gather in the churchyard as crowds line the street outside. The Queen is greeted by Lord Derby and the mayor, before she is introduced to selected officials, clergy and guests on the stage. Her Majesty signs the visitor's book and leaves in the royal car. |
