- Ella Su, 39, brought her mother-in-law Joan Kelso, 95, from Croydon today. Su said the King came over to meet them after he descended the stairs of the Opera House.

- Less fortunate was Antonio Sneddon, 34, from Waterloo, who hoped to give the King a fitting present – a miniature model of the Opera House.
“Why not?” he said. “We’re all meeting here at the Opera House.” Speaking before his unsuccessful attempt to give the King a souvenir from his Australian trip, Sneddon mentioned, “If I don’t meet the King and Queen this time, then maybe the next visit will be my chance.”
