Thanks!
The original photos are actually quite small so what you see here is a result of the scanning (which enlarged them) and a bit of playing around to get the images as clear as possible.
Fortunately the royal couple came out quite well as they were in the middle. I like how you can pick out at least three RCMP officers on the right hand side by the shape of their hats

What a wonderful story! Thanks for sharing it
One thing that struck me about the pictures is how relaxed and happy they look. Maybe they were just amused by the people in Oba

Thanks Louise Adelaide!
I love them too so it was quite a pleasant surprise to find them smiling back at me.
I also learned more about the 1939 royal tour of North America.Had notrealized it was the first visit of a reigning monarch to Canada.

We recently discovered royalty lurking at the back of a family photo album. Yes, that's George VI & Queen Elizabeth.
I can just imagine my grandmother asking them to please hold still while she adjusts her camera and takes the picture!

Hello Everyone
Up until now, we haven't specified Event Posting Rules but as the site continues to gain in popularity I believe the time has come to include them in our Guidelines .
Note that the physical limitation of only five events showing on the main pagewas one of the majorconsiderations for these rules.
-----
An Event may be posted for a maximum period of 24 hours:
This period may be extended in cases such as Music Festivals where various artists are performing on different days throughout the Festival and the individual performanceshave beenlisted under one Event to save space. See Duch de Coeur: Arts & Music Festival (3rd Annual) as an example.
Events such as Exhibitions which will be open over a period of days, weeks or monthsshould only announce the event opening. These extended events may also make use of the Court News, Rules & Etiquette Category of the Discussion Forum.
An Individual or Group is limited to a maximum of two Events per day:
We'll do a trial run oftwo per day and adjust accordingly. Please try to combine events for the day & groupwhenever possible.
Advertisments for commercial products or services are not allowed in Events.
This includes new store openings.
