Background
Visiting
Plymouth Dome was built in 1988, and although it was not opened to the public until 1989, Queen Elizabeth II visited the building on 20 July 1988, during which she unveiled a plaque to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the first battle of the Spanish Armada. An official opening followed in November by diplomat and academic Bryce Harland, the then-High Commissioner for New Zealand.
