Well-wishers see Queen off

About 100 well-wishers have gathered at Melbourne Airport to farewell the Queen and Prince Phillip.

The Queen has finished her four-day tour of Australia with a look at the Commonwealth Games village and lunch with team officials and athletes.

The monarch also met with Victoria's new Governor and watched the opening swimming heats at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre.

The Queen will spend three days in Singapore before heading back to the United Kingdom.
