Queen Elizabeth II arrived in Northern Ireland for a two
day visit in July 1966, primarily to officially open the new bridge named in
her honour across the River Lagan in Belfast. However, she also carried out
many other public functions and can be seen here on the second day making two
official openings. The first is of some new playing fields connected with Queen’s
University, Belfast. The second is attending and declaring open the new Social
Sciences building, also at Queen’s. The famous stage actor Sir Tyrone Guthrie
was Chancellor of Queen’s at this time and he can be seen meeting the Queen and
guiding her round at the events.
