1973: Queen Elizabeth II at the Official Opening of Sydney Opera House, October 1973

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at the Official Opening of the Sydney Opera House, October 1973.

In this historic footage, Queen Elizabeth almost loses her notes on the very windy day, as she gives a speech for the official opening. There are also several views of Sydney Harbour on the day of the Opening Ceremony.
