Incredible unearthed footage shows the Queen opening Northwick Park Hospital in 1970

Staff at Northwick Park have uncovered some previously unseen footage of the Queen opening the Hospital in October, 1970.

The Queen, who spent nearly two hours at the hospital, was listed as the first visitor in the visitors’ book.

One of the dignitaries accompanying Her Majesty was the then Secretary of State for Education and Science Margaret Thatcher.

The trust has had a long association with the Royal Family since the hospital opening, including royal visits by Prince Charles, Princess Diana, Sophie of Wessex and Princess Anne.
