On 24 February 1986, Queen Elizabeth II was pelted with eggs by demonstrators protesting in the name of Maori land rights while the monarch was visiting the New Zealand capital of Auckland. While the egging caused alarm for many (representing as it did a serious breach of the Queen's personal security), the Queen herself handled the experience in good humour. At a state banquet in Wellington, the Queen made a deadpan reference to the incident while praising New Zealand's dairy produce. It would take more than cracking yolks to stop the Queen cracking jokes.
This clip is taken from an ITN special programme, The Queen's Voyage: From Kathmandu to Christchurch. Aired on 16 March 1986, it follows the Queen's visit to Nepal, Australia, and New Zealand. Coming soon to @ITNArchive.
