Thanks for posting this. I remember the day well...I say well, considering I was drunk at the time. We were kids and just 2 years into our service. At lunchtime we'd been over The Maybush to "celebrate," came back before The Queen's arrival and found the door to the roof unlocked. We had a grandstand view of her arrival until security arrived, ushered us back to our sections and locked the door.

This video is fascinating and it's great to be able to share it online after it's been tucked away for the last 41 years! Everything looks so modern and new and it's amazing how much technological change there has been since then!
