Queen wraps up rapturous Australian tour | Bangkok Post: breakingnews

Queen Elizabeth II Saturday wrapped up an immensely successful tour of Australia in which tens of thousands flocked to catch a glimpse of their monarch, perhaps for the last time.

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip wave farewell as they depart Australia after a 10-day visit, in Perth on October 29. The trip included the Queen opening the Commonwealth Heads Of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Perth.

As she prepares to celebrate 60 years on the throne, the queen's enduring relationship with her far-flung realm has been on full display, with huge crowds greeting her with flowers and cries of "God Save the Queen".
