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,
