Summary

Description
English: On 12 January 1954, Queen Elizabeth II opened a special session of New Zealand's Parliament. As well as being the first time New Zealand's Parliament had been opened by a reigning monarch, it also marked the centennial of its existence.

According to nzhistory.net.nz, a crowd of 50,000 greeted the Queen for the event. Indeed, since arriving in New Zealand in December 1953, thousands had turned out to see her and her husband, Prince Philip, at various places around the country. "At Tīrau, a community of 600 people in south Waikato, a crowd of 10,000 turned up for a glimpse of the young monarch," notes nzhistory.net.nz.

To mark the royal occasion, the Post and Telegraph Department released a special postage stamp of the visiting monarchs. As well as depicting a youthful Elizabeth and Philip, the stamp is also interesting for its border design. This is a photograph of the original stamp from the 'Former Post and Telegraph/Telecom Museum Holdings' (Series 8106). Also reproduced in the series is a swag of other stamps from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
