Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Higness, Prince Phillip signing the visitor book, 1978

The image shows Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness, Prince Phillip signing the visitor book at Wesley's Chapel before the Chapel re-opening ceremony in November 1978. The Chapel had undergone a comprehensive scheme of restoration between 1972 and 1978, following severe structural issues with the foundations, the roof and the south gallery. The re-opening ceremony took place two hundred years to the day of the Chapel opening in November 1778.
