The Officlal Visit is not from Luxembourg but from Belgium. People went on the Street because they had no Television at home at that time.
Sad Kings Albert II and King Philippe never came on State Visit.
Now with the COVID perhaps we have to wait years.

A look back at the 1922 British State Visit to Belgium
King George V and Queen Mary were hosted by King Albert and Queen Elisabeth. Also at the State Banquet were Crown Prince Leopold, Princess Marie Jose of Belgium with the The Earl f Athlone and Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone.
British State Banquet at the Royal Palace of Brussels, 1922
 
As part of the 6 month long Commonwealth Tour,the Queen and Duke arrived in Ceylon in April 1954 (now known as (Sri Lanka)
Queen in Ceylon, 1954
 
Next summer it is 50 years since King Carl XVI Gustaf paid a State Visit to the United Kingdom (hosted in Edinburgh)… He was then unmarried and was accompanied to the State Banquets by his sister and brother in law Princess Margaretha and John Ambler who already lived in UK…

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip made their return state visit to Sweden in 1983, arriving with Britannia and had a similar welcoming ceremony to the one we saw yesterday for the danish King and Queen.

What i would love to see King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia make a State Visit to UK soon…. To be entirely protocollary correct maybe it is King Charles who should visit Sweden first as King Carl Gustaf is now the longest serving monarch in Europe, but as it is Sweden’s turn to visit UK i think the next visit whenever it happens will be in that direction
 
I didn’t know Fabiola was in the early stages of one of her pregnancies during this state visit. So, she either was in great anticipation or maybe very concerned whether it would go well this time.
 
The tiara is truly dazzling as was Fabiola's. Have either been worn by Mathilde?
Queen Fabiola is wearing the full version of the 9 Provinces Tiara that once belonged to Queen Astrid and is only worn by the Queen of the Belgians.
Queen Mathilde has indeed worn this tiara.
 
The late queen and Duke of Edinburgh were in Quebec in October 1977 during the Silver Jubilee Tour of Canada and attended a Gala dinner.
