The Queen and her husband, Prince Philip spent three days in Texas as a part of a 13-day tour of the United States.The royal couple arrived at Love Field Airport where she was introduced to Dallas Mayor Annette Strauss and Mayor Kay Granger of Fort Worth, while a band played "The Yellow Rose of Texas" and the theme from the popular TV show "Dallas".
Later that evening, the Queen and Prince Philip were taken to the Hall of State at Fair Park to honor the 150th anniversary of Dallas. Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Hall of State building at the urging of two Dallas city council members.
