On this day in 1990, Queen Elizabeth II travelled to Caen Hill Locks in Wiltshire to open the Kennet and Avon Canal. Arriving to great fanfare, the Queen boarded a barge to take part in an unusual alternative to the cutting of the ribbon, before disembarking to unveil a plaque at Lock 43, naming it the Queen Elizabeth II Lock. #QueenElizabethII #Queen #ElizabethII #QueenElizabeth #RoyalFamily #RoyalHistory #KennetAndAvonCanal #CaenHill #Wiltshire #England #CanalBoat #Canal To search the ITN Archive collection on Getty Images, follow the link below: 🎥 Subscribe to our YouTube channel (tap the bell icon and stay up to date with all the latest ITN Archive videos!) - @ITNArchive 🎥 Follow us on Twitter - 🎥 Like us on Facebook - 🎥 Check out our TikTok - @itnarchive1955
