Thank you Beth ! You are right ! An other mystery solved ! Thank you again !!!! Franck Previous Message 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.
