Queen Elizabeth was given an official farewell by a guard of honour as she departed Malta at the end of a two-day state visit on occasion of CHOGM 2015.

The monarch departed after a full two-day programme, where she attended the official opening and hosted various events in her capacity as head of the Commonwealth.

she spoke of the way she had seen the country progress over the years.
“Since my first experience of Malta in 1949 as a young woman, I have seen this country evolve into a strong nation which plays an important role on the world stage. When Prince Philip and I returned in November 2007 at the time of our Diamond Wedding Anniversary, we could not help but be impressed by the progress and the sense of optimism.”

“I remember happy days here with Prince Philip when we were first married, and the wonderful official visits over the past sixty years,” she said.
