Although I cannot find a photo of the brooch of the Lutine given to Queen Elizabeth II when she ceremoniously laid the foundation stone for Lloyds new building in November 1952, I thought that some might like to see images of the jewels HM wore on the occasion.
In contrast to many such events, this ceremony was held in the evening with guests and the Queen in full evening dress.
