RICHARD ALLEN SCOTT - Through the Years

RICHARD ALLEN SCOTT
THROUGH THE YEARS
1983
In March of this year, Queen Elizabeth II was in Vancouver to officially launch construction of
the Expo 86 site. I was assigned to the security detail in the harbour front hotel where she
attended a formal dinner. These close pictures of the Queen were taken by a lady in front
of whom I was standing and who offered and in fact did, send copies to me. Pretty close I’d
say! It was a long evening as we had to be there hours before she was due to arrive, and
stay until she left. Feet were killing me.
The next day, Sharon and I piled the kids in the car and took them to the site to see the Royal
Yacht Brittania, now decommissioned and a tourist destination in Scotland.
