00:00We can still expect an awful lot from the King and Queen. It is a

00:06packed schedule. They are taking the day off today, resting after

00:09that long flight from the UK. Tomorrow we will see the King and

00:14Queen at church in Sydney. There is a late addition to that, that the

00:21public can turn out to see them at the church. The details for that

00:26are all on the government website. Anyone who is out there in North

00:30Sydney, I suggest you head along to St Thomas' Church. Then on Monday

00:36they head to Canberra. This is the big one with that parliamentary

00:41reception hosted by the Prime Minister that we have heard so much

00:46about already. There are going to be a lot of people there. There is

00:49going to be a big ceremonial welcome outside that. Members of the

00:53public can gather to watch that ceremonial welcome. I think it is

00:58going to be quite something. Before that, they will be heading to the

01:03War Memorial. Again, there is a meet-and-greet there. There are

01:06opportunities, as well as on that final day, Tuesday, where the King

01:11and Queen will be back in Sydney, on that final day there will be the

01:15opportunity at the Opera House. There are other opportunities for the

01:18public to meet the King and Queen. The King wants to do as much as

01:22possible. Usually, his tours are packed from the minute he gets here

01:27to the minute he leaves. We don't have any evening engagements, for

01:31instance. I am sure that was at the Doctor's request. We only got two

01:36states on this tour, the ACT and New South Wales. Again, I am sure that

01:42was the Doctor's request. We don't have New Zealand attached to this

01:46tour. I think we are very fortunate that the King has come at all, but I

01:52know he has been very eager to come for a long time. The last time he

01:55came was in 2018. For him, this is a long-awaited trip.
