This year was pretty exciting for those who are awestruck by blue blood. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip visited the show.
"Royal" gets added to the name of the event and it has stuck to this day. King George V granted the show a royal warrant.
The Ekka provided the venue for the first manned flight over Brisbane.
The Royal National Agricultural and Industrial Association created the first show to promote agricultural, industrial and cultural resources. The first Ekka attracted about 17,000 visitors and boasted of 1,700 individual exhibits.
