Earlier, the Queen and Duke attended morning worship at Scots Church—the first time in Australian history that a reigning British monarch has visited a Presbyterian church. Almost 1,000 people packed the small church. Among the congregation were the Prime Minister, Mr. Menzies and Dame Pattie, the Lord Mayor, Sir Maurice Nathan and Lady Nathan and many Federal and State parliamentarians and their wives.
The Duke read a lesson from St. Matthew using the New English Bible. Special music was provided for the service.
