Royal Tour of Australia: The Queen Ends Visit with Traditional 'Aussie Barbie'

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: The last engagement in the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh's tour of Australia was a traditional barbecue, where the Prince even flipped a steak.


The Duke of Edinburgh entered into the spirit of the occasion and flipped a steak sizzling on a grill as he joined cooks attempting to hold a record-breaking barbecue.

The event was the last engagement in the Queen and Duke's 11-day tour of Australia, and the monarch told the crowds: "We have been overwhelmed by your kindness and support.

"Once again we will return to the United Kingdom with fond memories of our time here and the warm Australian welcome we have received on our 16th visit to this beautiful country."

The Queen has received a rapturous welcome during her tour, and Perth residents followed the national mood and turned out in their tens of thousands for a final glimpse of the Royal couple. » | Saturday, October 29, 2011
