QUEEN ELIZABETH II visits Sao Paulo - 8 November 1968.

there's a dearth of Queen Elizabeth's photographs taken during her 1968 visit to São Paulo... this is the only one I could get hold of... which shows her waving to the public when she arrives to open MASP - Art Museum of Sao Paulo on 8 November 1968.
N.B.: The dearth of photos of ERII's São Paulo visit suddenly became a flood due to Her Majesty's death on 8 September 2022. All of a sudden all of those Her Majesty's hidden photos saw the day light in many a blog and site in the Internet.
