QUEEN AND DUKE ATTEND RECEPTION AT OCEAN TERMINAL
Arriving by hover ferry-at the Ocean Terminal, for a reception
attended by 2,000 Hong Kong people from all walks of life, the Queen
and the Duke were met at the main entrance by the Governor, who presented
the Chairman of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Company,
Mr. David Newbigging, and the General Manager, Mr. H.M.G. Forsgate,
and their wives.
The Royal party then walked to the main concourse, where the
band of the Royal Hong Kong Police, under their director of music,
Superintendent Colin Wood, played the National Anthem, at the end of
which there was loud applause.
The Queen and the Duke then separated and moved among the crowd,
while the band played marches and a selection of tunes which included
"Georgy Girl", "Hello Young Lovers", "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning",
a selection from "The Sound of Music" and songs from Jamaica and the
Bahamas.
The Queen and the Duke met perhaps the most representative
cross-section of the community ever assembled under one roof. Participants
at the reception included footballers, film stars, a postman, a bus driver,
the driver of a quayside crane, farmers, hawkers and members of mutual aid
committees, as well as businessmen, teachers, doctors and nurses.
Mr. Lau Lun, a street sweeper, was present. He has been at his
"beat" in the Tsim Sha Tsui and Yau Ma Tei districts of Kowloon, for 29
years,
