On their third visit to New Zealand, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were accompanied by Charles, Prince of Wales, and Princess Anne. The visit was timed primarily to celebrate the bi-centenary of Captain James Cook's voyage of discovery, and special displays were set up in various parts of the country. The royal party visited Ship Cove in Queen Charlotte Sound and Mercury Bay on the Coromandel Peninsula, where Cook's landings were re-enacted, and the Queen unveiled the Cook Memorial Medallion at Parliament Buildings.
