Re: QEQM. Franck's photo. What was worn on the hat? Archived Message Posted by Beth on August 9, 2018, 4:16 pm, in reply to "Re: QEQM and Queen Victoria's bow brooch. How it was worn? - An idea of these brooches ? " Franck posted this photo. It shows the King and Queen on the steps of St Paul's, London on 1 October 1939 after the service for the National Day of Prayer. Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother wore the same hat and outfit at least 4 times during the same summer/autumn in 1939. I will show these below and clearly identify each occurrence so people can refer to that when commenting. 1. National Day of Prayer. I October 1939 Enlarged detail from photo above. View of hat from the Illustrated London News 7 October 1939 View of hat from Sphere 7 October 1939 2. Return to England following the north American tour. Return date was 22 June 1939. Arrival This has the best detail of any photo. In London on day of arrival. 3. On the way to Crathie Church 1939 4. At Dartmouth Naval College 1939 I suspect that what we can see is an ornament, not a jewel, on HM's hat, and that it is the same in all the photos. When I looked at the last photo I had no doubt that the ornamentation was the same as the one seen as HM walked down the gangway on her return to England.
