The Queen is to view the Nathan Road procession, on the evening of May 6, from a pavilion specially designed to suggest
traditional' Chinese architecture.
Thé pavilion, now constructed at the perimeter of Whitfield
Barracks by the Public Works Department, will have vermilion pillars
and a gold-painted roof.
Behind the pavilion will be a tiered stand to accommodate 100
guests, including Members of the Executive Council, and this will be
flanked by further stands for some 2,000 guests..
On her way to the pavilion, for the start of the procession
at 9 p.m., the Queen will see something of the neon lights of Kowloon's
'Golden Mile'.
The Royal limousine, in which she and the Duke of Edinburgh will be accompanied by the Governor and Lady MacLehose, will cross the
harbour on a vehicular ferry to Jordan Road, and then proceed via Tong
Mei Road and Argyle Street to Nathan Road.
It is anticipated that the sector of Nathan Road from Argyle
Streat to Kowloon Park will be closed to traffic from 7.30 p.m., to
allow for the build up of spectators lining the route.
