the pride of the city From her she peered up at the huge girders towering above her Hundreds of private cars many gaily decorated with streamers and surf club colours followed the Royal procession and it was estimated that 150000 people lined the route At the naval base she was greeted by a specially planted flower garden spelling out Fear God and Honour the Hundreds of yachts under sail in the sparkling blue harbour the bright dresses of the crowds and the white summer uniforms of the Naval guard of honour made a gay scene After lunching at the base the Queen Mother sailed in a Royal barge escorted by yachts to Manly for a traditional surf carnival with parades of burly sun-tanned lifesavers and and demonstrations of surf-riding BOY WTH PISTOL Police raced to the ferry pier at Manly a few minutes before the Queen Mother was due when a 16-year-old boy was seen carrying what appeared to be a revolver They found that the youth had a 32 starting pistol and took it from him They ordered
