Dinner for meeting of Commonwealth leaders 1956
I think I also have a photo of HM wearing it on a balcony scene for a state visit but it will take me some time to go through photos. I suspect that HM may have worn it often for such events -- it is just that we don't have photos. Certainly QEQM wore her crown on such occasions.
By the way -- I think that the crowns of Queen Mary and QEQM were private property, and QEQM's crown was made using the gems from Queen Victoria's regal circlet so the gems are part of the jewels Queen Victoria left to the crown -- so they are heirlooms of the crown.
