Thanks for this! I was one of the school children at the airport. The Queen and Prince Philip came over to say hello to us and I just remember that she had pink lipstick stuck on her front tooth :-)

I was just 8 yrs I saw at the Town Hall Colombo a motorcade in April 1954 , the Queen's Royal Tour to Ceylon l She was in Sri Lanka for 8 days covering many areas Again I saw the Queen visited Sri Lanka in 1981 at the Town Hall Colombo with my daughter son and wife Queen did not attend Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting held in Sri Lanka held in November 2013 Prince Charles deputised the Queen Sir John Kotelawala was PM in 1954 JR Jayawardena was the President in 1981 and Mahida R was the President in 2013 CHOGM was held in 2013 I visited United Kingdom Birmingham 9:14 9:14 9:14 to see my Sister and her family then I had an opportunity to see the Queen while she was travelling
I think we were a rich country at that era. Unfortunately still we stagnated without development. Other nations who were in the same economic situation have gone ahead passing us. Poor Sri Lanka 😞 Really sad about this. Still we are a developing country while other countries developed

While watching this video, youtube recommends another video of the same Queen's visit in 1954. It will be awkward to see another video if Queen of England visit Sri Lanka in 2020.

What an ipmortant comment ! It means that you know our authentic history. Our leaders brought this woman and respected her as if she had donated her country to us many years ago. Curse them for distorting our history (Jambuddeepaya) !

It is 1981. Because JR Jayawardena is the one who greeted them, when he was the president

Kaj kalle 3.21 - 5.08 you are absolutely correct.it was 1954 .she was very young . Beginning up to 3.20 .then 5.09 on words 1981
Wow see how nicely Mrs elena jayawardene greets the queen she does not bend her knee to the queen . Unlike the time that mangala s instructed Mrs mithripala siriseena who bend her knee for the British crown in their visit . I studied in Britain but will never bend my knee to the British crown ...but will get up from my seat for a srilankan old lady or pregnant srilankan women gladly.
This can't be true. JR Jeyawardana was not alive in 1981. ..................

J.R. Jayawardane had been the president of Sri Lanka until R. Premadasa took over in January 1989. Mr. Jayawardane died in 1996 at the age of 90. Queen's previous visit to the island had been in the days of Ceylon in early 1950s, almost 3 decades prior to this second visit, when she herself had been the head of state here and Sir John Kothalawala had been the prime minister (the head of government).
