The tickets will allocate you and guest seats within the Grandstand situated by the Queen Victoria Memorial, which will be an excellent viewpoint for the processions and military manoeuvres, as well as a view of the balcony and flypast.

 Estimated timings

Please note it will be a long day, sitting outside with no opportunity to exit and re-enter the grandstand zone once inside. You are of course free to leave early should you wish. There will be toilets, water, and refreshment facilities within the zone to purchase food and drink, you can bring your own food and drink.
