Honiara Goes Gay

For the Duke

Honiara dressed up for its Royal visit in March, hut first prize for the most colourful arrangements— if there had been any prizes—would undoubtedly have gone to those in Chinatown.

Prince Philip drove through two archways like this, one at the entrance and one at the exit.

He made his Chinatown visit after having earlier taken a look at Ruaniu plantation, where manager Jim Symes answered the Duke's many questions.

Here, he sees nuts being opened as the first stage in the making of copra.
