When The Queen Came To Town
Starring Australian legends Bert Newton and Lorraine Bayly, WHEN THE QUEEN CAME TO TOWN recaptures the colourful and significant 1954 Royal Tour by the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II. An astonishing 75% of the population turned out to see the first ever visit to our shores by a reigning monarch and the cameras were there as never before, to capture it all.
WHEN THE QUEEN CAME TO TOWN offers a striking window into the Australia of the day and meets the real stars; the people who were there, who presented the bouquets, who drove the limousines, who participated in the mass displays and who now share their stories of the biggest event ever staged here in Australia.
