And Obi Oksi II dressed his best for the Duke: The Gloucesters Nigerian Tour did not go unmarked in the special diary of Obi Oksi II, Natural Ruler of Onitsha, when the Duke and Duchess were recently visiting Enugu in the Eastern Region. For the ceremony in the Assembly House his Majesty wore his ermine lined crown, carried his staff and symbols, and wore his gold signet ring, not forgetting to pin a treasured Imperial Honour graciously presented him by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain and the Commonwealth. It seems that Her Royal Highness was remembered in more than one way Obi Oksi's robes were made of a material which had large portraits of the Queen and Elizabeth II stamped on it everywhere with the Royal Regalia scattered generously among them.
