Remembering a brush with royaltyCOMOX VALLEY 250-338-5811 | CAMPBELL RIVER 250-287-9227
Rolf Johansen can still remember the week he spent chauffeuring the Queen around.
While the 82-year-old may not be as nimble as he was back then, his memory is still sharp and he recalls the moment like it was yesterday.
It was May, 1971 and Queen Elizabeth II was on a royal tour of British Columbia to celebrate the centennial of the province’s entry into Con-federation.
Johansen, a master corporal, was tasked by an Air Force Officer with driving the Queen around upon her arrival at the Comox Harbour.
To commemorate the experience, Johan-sen has framed photographs that were sent to him from Buckingham Palace chronicling the adventure – one photo even shows Johansen chauffeuring the Queen down Cliffe Avenue in Courtenay.
Johansen shared the photos Wednesday during a ceremony at Campbell River City Hall to celebrate Queen Elizabeth as the longest reigning monarch at more than 63 years and seven months, or 23,226 days. She surpasses her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria, who formerly held that distinction.
At 89, Queen Elizabeth has sat on the throne for six decades. As the oldest of two sisters, she became queen in 1952 at the age of 25 following the death of her father, King George VI.
At Wednesday’s ceremony at Campbell River City Hall, Freeman and former Mayor Mary Ashley had high praise for Queen Elizabeth.
“As a figure of unity she denies herself the expression of personal opinions in favour of listening to what we have to say,” said Ashley, who is a recipient of one of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medals given out in 2012. “She is a Moth-er of our Confederation and constant companion in the ups and downs of our nation’s life. ‘I am no fair weather friend,’ she once observed while
visiting Canada.”And it was during one of those visits to Can-
ada that Johansen got a glimpse into who the Queen really is.
“Oh, she’s beautiful,” Johansen said. “She’s perfectly nice.
“I wasn’t allowed to speak to her but she spoke to me. She saw my kids – my four sons – outside waving and she waved back at them and com-plimented me on my kids being nice,” Johansen says. “She gave me one of those painted eggs, the ones the Hungarians make, and she said ‘give it to your boys’. Well,
I kept it. I wasn’t giv-ing it to them. I still have it.”
Coinciden-tally, May-
or Andy Adams said he too was involved in the Queen’s 1971 vis-it to Vancouver Island.
“In 1971 when the Q u e e n was vis-i t i n g V i c -toria I was in my Boy Scouts uni-form,” Adams said. “There was a barricade of Scouts as the Queen went in to the Royal BC Museum.”

she spoke to me. She saw my kids – my four sons – outside waving and she waved back at them and com-plimented me on my kids being nice,” Johansen says. “She gave me one of those painted eggs, the ones the Hungarians make, and she said ‘give it to your boys’. Well,
I kept it. I wasn’t giv-ing it to them. I still have it.”
Coinciden-tally, May-
or Andy Adams said he too was involved in the Queen’s 1971 vis-it to Vancouver Island.
“In 1971 when the Q u e e n was vis-i t i n g V i c -toria I was in my Boy Scouts uni-form,” Adams said. “There was a barricade of Scouts as the Queen went in to the Royal BC Museum.”
