In March 2006, Queen Elizabeth&nbsp;II opened the western colonnade addition to the building designed by Utzon who had not returned to Australia since 1966. His son, Jan, took his place at the opening ceremony instead, saying his father was "too old by now to take the long flight to Australia. But he lives and breathes the Opera House, and as its creator he just has to close his eyes to see it."<ref>[http://jornutzon.sydneyoperahouse.com/biography.htm "Jørn Utzon Biography"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110907075835/http://jornutzon.sydneyoperahouse.com/biography.htm |date=7 September 2011 }}, ''Sydney Opera House''.
