英女皇訪港
1975年女皇伉儷訪港

1975年5月，伊利沙伯二世偕同皇夫愛丁堡公爵菲臘親王首次到香港訪問，這是英國在位君主第一次到香港訪問。英女皇於5月4日下午乘皇家專機抵達啟德機場，其時整條漆咸道擠滿市民，只為一睹女皇風采。英女皇到達尖沙咀公眾碼頭後登上港督私人遊艇慕蓮夫人號渡過維多利亞港，期間駐港英軍鳴放二十一響禮炮，女皇在碼頭上岸，之後在駐港英軍司令彭英武中將陪同下檢閱英國駐港部隊。
女皇伉儷其後到香港大會堂出席由香港政府舉辦的歡迎儀式，其他出席人員包括時任香港總督麥理浩爵士伉儷、駐港英軍司令彭英武中將、時任香港行政局首席非官守議員簡悅強爵士伉儷、一名女皇侍從武官、一名女皇侍從女官、一名女皇私人秘書，以及港督麥理浩爵士的副官。歡迎儀式先由麥理浩爵士以英語致歡迎辭（其後由政府人員以粵語宣讀港督致辭中文譯本），後由簡悅強爵士以粵語致中文歡迎辭，最後由女皇以英語致答辭（其後由政府人員以粵語宣讀女皇致辭中文譯本）。
港督麥理浩爵士致歡迎辭英文原文如下：
Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, Lieutenant-General, Ladies and Gentlemen:
It is the first time in the history of Hong Kong that the sovereign has come here. We, the people of Hong Kong, are proud and encouraged that Your Majesty should be paying us this visit now. It is a moment of real historical significance.
The predominant emotion at this moment is a fervent wish that Your Majesty and Your Royal Highness will enjoy your short stay amongst us, that you will be able to see the way we live, and also some of the ways we enjoy ourselves, and above all the sort of people we are, and the sort of community we are. We dare to hope that having seen a little of this, you'll like it.
To supplement what can be seen in such a short time, we have prepared an exhibition. We hope this will also be of interest to a very wide public. For the visit of Your Majesty and Your Royal Highness, it's a good time to remove misconceptions and to remind ourselves and others what Hong Kong has done, what it now is, and what it could be.
Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, on behalf of Hong Kong, I extend you a very sincere and very loyal welcome.

女皇陛下、親王殿下、三軍司令麾下、各位嘉賓：
陛下以在位女皇之尊，今日蒞臨香港，實為本港開埠以來未有之盛事。際此深具歷史意義之時刻，全港市民得瞻風采之餘，咸感鼓舞，深以為榮。
香港市民今日恭逢盛會，謹以興奮之心情敬祝陛下及殿下，在訪港期間舒泰康祥，歡享良辰美景，更藉此一睹吾人之起居方式、生活情趣，尤其是本地之風土人情。即使一鱗半爪，諒亦為陛下及殿下所樂見。
陛下訪港時間短暫，難免有走馬看花之感。吾人特舉辦一介紹性之展覽會，務使陛下對香港一般情形能睹全豹，並藉此良機，一新視聽，促使本港市民以及全球人士，回顧香港之成就，檢討目前之情況，期待未來之發展。
最後，本人謹代表全港市民，對陛下及殿下，敬致萬二分之熱烈歡迎。
簡悅強爵士致歡迎辭全文如下（致辭講稿部分用字之書面語轉譯，下以括號標記）：
女皇陛下、親王殿下、督憲閣下、三軍司令麾下、各位嘉賓：
本人謹以極愉快嘅（的）心情，代表本港居民熱烈歡迎女皇陛下及親王殿下蒞臨。此乃本港歷史上之莫大慶典，全體居民深感歡欣與慶幸。皇室對本港居民一向關懷備至，全港居民對此衷心感謝，深以為榮。前此，親王殿下來港，其風采至今港人景仰猶深。歷年來，安妮公主、瑪嘉烈公主及雅麗珊郡主先後光臨，迄今港人尚留不可磨滅之愉快回憶。
香港之繁榮，有賴於海洋而通各地。今日係（是）天后寶誕，而天后乃漁民及海員所奉祀之仁慈女神，相傳其惠澤港人至深且厚。女皇陛下今日蒞臨，適逢其會，寶誕慶典相得益彰。香港居民謹向女皇陛下再致萬二分熱烈歡迎，並祝在港期間享受良辰美景，政躬康泰。
女皇致答辭英文原文如下：
Your Excellency, Sir Yuet-keung Kan:
Prince Philip and I thank you for your welcome. He has visited Hong Kong before as have other members of my family, and I have heard much about it from them. I also keep in touch with your affairs through State Papers. So although this may be my first visit, I do not feel a stranger. But "seeing is believing", and I am delighted with what I have seen and look forward very much to the next three days. I am particularly glad of this initial moment of ceremony, because it gives me an opportunity to greet you all, the people of Hong Kong.
The circumstances that have produced modern Hong Kong are unique, and there cannot be any other community quite like it. Your reputation stands high in the world. Few other communities have had greater problems to deal with, or have confronted them with greater vigour, or have survived and improved the life of their members against greater odds. Hong Kong is famous for this, as it is for the vivid colour and movement of its densely packed life and for the beauty of its scenery.
I can assure you that it is a real pleasure and an excitement for Prince Philip and me to be here.
女皇致答辭全文之中文翻譯本如下（致辭翻譯文本及講稿有異之處，下以括號標記）：
{{blockquote|-{zh;zh-hans;zh-hant|督憲閣下、簡悅強爵士：
本人與親王此次來港，荷蒙熱烈歡迎，深表感謝。親王以及其他皇室成員（人員），前曾數度訪港，有關香港之風采文物莫不津津樂道，故對香港情況實經耳熟能詳，復至卷宗文軸之中頻見報道。故今日雖屬初次到港，亦如屢遊舊地。世人有云：「百聞不如一見」。今日所見所聞無不令人興奮欣悅，深信此行三日之遊必多賞心樂事。本人更樂於借重此簡單隆重之儀式，向在座諸君及全港市民致意。
香港獨具其特殊環境及因素，經港人歷年奮鬥，乃發展為一現代名城，其過程可謂舉世無雙（兩）。港人所遭遇之困難愈甚，則其鬥志益堅、百折不撓，力爭上游。於罕見之逆境之中，不苟安於圖存，尋且自力更生、銳意進取，其經濟（乃）日臻繁榮，民生（乃）日趨改善。香港之在今日得以蜚聲國際，馳譽世界者，其來有自。至於其生活則多采多姿、燦爛輝煌；其精神則蓬勃活躍、自強不息；其景色則山明水秀、風光綺麗，美譽天下。
今日本人與親王得償素願，誠屬人生樂事，自覺歡欣無限。（願藉此共祝全港市民幸福愉快。）}-}}
當年皇家香港警務處負責英女皇伊利沙伯二世與皇夫菲臘親王到訪的保安。駐港英軍亦和英國國防部及軍情機關緊密聯繫，以免有人對女皇伉儷不利。
當時香港政府為此舉行多項活動以歡迎女皇到訪，因應六七暴動連串炸彈恐怖襲擊而實施的燃放煙花禁令也暫時解除。港督麥理浩爵士陪同女皇與皇夫參加各項儀式，包括欣賞煙花表演、花車遊行及進入跑馬地馬場觀賞賽馬，並為女盃賽事頒獎。
女皇在5月5日到訪中環嘉咸街街市，探訪在街市工作的檔販。女皇亦參觀了當時剛落成入伙的何文田愛民邨，到康民樓六樓其中一個單位內探訪住戶，並與居民合照。女皇又到訪摩士公園游泳池，與在泳池遊玩的兒童交談。女皇也曾經到訪香港大學、香港仔避風塘、紅磡火車站及荃灣新市鎮，並且視察葵涌貨櫃碼頭。女皇到訪屋邨、街市及學校時，與街上的市民只有一繩之隔，並且主動走近市民，期間更有人出手輕撫女皇面頰。
