This pencil lined sketch of Irangani as Tea Queen 1967, represented Ceylon at the Glasgow Centenary wholesale Cooperative Stores declared open by her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth, when Irangani had the opportunity of chatting with the Queen for over 20 minutes, just the two of them, was drawn by no other person than our famous cartoonist in Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) who lives now in Perth.
