Prince Charles walks down the boulevard accompanied by Charlie Christensen and Kevin Maegraith with Bill "The Whale" Willis in the background. After being presented with a striped club cap the Prince walked along the road to his waiting car shaking hands with many of the crowd. Mr Maegraith said the Prince remarked of Bondi, "It is the finest ocean beach in the world."
"That," said Mr Maegraith, "is exactly what his father, Prince Phillip, also once said about Bondi."
