The Queen Wears Outfit To Match Ship - The Southern Cross ***** down the slipway at Balfast yesterday. The Queen yesterday wore a Princess line coat and matching hat in pastel green - the same colour as the upper works of the liner she was launching at Belfast. While waiting to pull the launching lever the Queen stood under a canvas canopy, bulging under the weight of rain water. She smiled when Lord Brookeborough, the Prime minister of Northern Ireland, who was standing beside her, pointed at the ominous bulge and said, "I hope that doesn't come through." August 18, 1954.
