Features Queen Elizabeth II's signature on the back in a large, flowing hand. Prince Philip signed the front cover. The Queen Mother and Princess Margaret signed sequentially inside the menu.
Also signed by President Ayub Khan and Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark.
This is the only known document signed by all four Windsors.
