In 1959, Vernon played host to a royal pair: Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. The duo spent an hour in the city as part of their British Columbia tour, during which they were greeted by a 15,000-strong crowd waving Union Jacks. One important stop included the Vernon Military Camp where they watched a display by 700 cadets put on especially for the occasion.
From the Vernon News: “Queen Elizabeth, captivating, absolutely beautiful… her escort, Prince Philip, tall, strikingly handsome—two people who have carved a notch for eternity in the heart of Vernon. Together they captured a city.”
