19-year-old, Fiji born London Irish rugby player Joe Cokanasiga was one of the two Fijian warriors who symbolically guarded the Queen on her visit to see an exhibition about Fiji at the University of East Anglia.
Cokanasiga who braved the freezing temperatures was not wearing any shoes and says that it was a real experience and honour to be asked to be at the exhibition.
Meanwhile after having travelled to Fiji on a number of occasions during her reign the Queen had requested to visit the exhibition in Norwich after hearing about it from the country's president.
This engagement in Norwich was the Queen's first official public engagement of 2017..
