Abstract
On the twenty-first day of November, 1967, many of the Fellows were present at a unique historic and moving occasion when the Reigning Sovereign, our Patron, visited the Royal Society. Her Majesty met the Fellows and their Ladies in intimate session to open their new home in Carlton House Terrace and to dedicate it to the service of the Royal Society. If the glamour, warmth and happiness of this opening meeting is any augury of the future of the Royal Society in our new home, it should be bright indeed. All those who had helped to plan the ceremony must have watched it with glad eyes. Many of the Fellows saw our beautiful and spacious new apartments for the first time, with the colour of a full-dress evening occasion, set against a background of exquisite flowers, which we owed to the kindness of Sir George Taylor, the Director of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew.
