Her Majesty sends a message to the people of Hahoe Village, read by The Duke of York during his tour
Published
I am very pleased that my son is visiting Andong today.
It is over twenty years since The Duke of Edinburgh and I paid a State Visit to the Republic of Korea, and I recall with great fondness the many places we visited in 1999.
In particular, I remember the very warm welcome that I received in Hahoe Village, on the occasion of my 73rd birthday.
In the months and years ahead, Prince Philip and I wish you every good fortune and happiness.
