Background: THE FIRST STAGE OF QUEEN ELIZABETH'S TOUR OF WEST GERMANY ENDED TODAY (THURSDAY) WHEN SHE AND HER HUSBAND, THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH, BOARDED A RIVER STEAMER NEAR KOBLENZ OF A THREE-HOUR TRIP UP THE RHINE TO KAUB.

AS THE STEAMER, THE "LORELEI", LEFT KOBLENZ IT WAS ESCORTED BY A HOST OF SMALL VESSELS. FROM THE FLAG STAFF OF THE STEAMER FLUTTERED THE BRITISH AND WEST GERMAN FLAGS, AND QUEEN ELIZABETH'S STANDARD. THE QUEEN HERSELF STOOD ON ONE OF THE UPPER DECKS AND WAVED TO THE CROWDS STANDING ALONG THE SHORE.

BARGES, PLAYING UP AND DOWN THE RIVER, WERE GAILY DRESSED IN BUNTING AND FLAGS AS THEY PASSED THE "LORELEI".

THE QUEEN LEAVES THE RIVERBOAT AT KAUB, WHERE SHE WILL JOIN A SPECIAL ROYAL TRAIN TO TAKE HER TO WIESBADEN, CAPITAL OF THE PROVINCE OF HESSE.
