New Zealand - Queen Addresses Commonwealth Heads

(10 Nov 1995) T/I: 11:18:45 FE 10:36:22
While the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in
Auckland, New Zealand featured demonstrations outside and
disunity inside, the official opening dinner, hosted by Her
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, went off without a hitch on Friday
(10/11) and gave its convenor the chance to display a lighter
side.
