Expodition: The Queen visits Expo 67
Broadcast Date: July 3, 1967
When the sovereign visits, there are so many details to take care of: menus, flowers and gun salutes. Queen Elizabeth's visit has many people at Expo working around the clock, and today Expodition interviews three of them: Roger Nantel, head of protocol; Lady Oliver, wife of the commissioner of the British Pavilion; and Capt. Cavanaugh, who is in charge of a roster of Howitzers used for saluting the Queen.Expodition: The Queen visits Expo 67
• The Queen and her husband, Prince Philip, began their 1967 visit to Canada in Ottawa on June 29. They were on hand for centennial celebrations in the nation's capital on July 1, and arrived in Montreal on the royal yacht Britannia on July 3.• That day, after visiting the British pavilion and lunching at the Canadian pavilion, the royal couple toured the Expo site on the minirail that wound its way through the fair.
