I have tried to identify the people, but there are quite a few I am unable to identify in the second and third rows of the group, and I do not know any in the fourth row. Anyone?
Front row (left to right): Countess of Strathmore (mother of the Queen); Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent (wearing her fringe tiara); the Duchess of Gloucester (wearing her honeysuckle tiara); Queen Maud of Norway (wearing the Maltese cross tiara); Queen Mary (covered in diamonds, and wearing her circlet); Princess Elizabeth; Princess Margaret; Princess Mary, Princess Royal, Countess of Harewood (wearing her sapphire tiara)
Second row (left to right) Princess Helene Victoria; Sir Alexander Ramsay (not wearing a coronet); Lady Patricia Ramsay (wearing her fringe tiara, but also a peeress coronet in one picture?); Duchess of Fife (slightly blurry in first picture, wearing the grand diamond tiara and a peeress coronet); unknown young lady wearing grand diamond tiara (Duchess of Beaufort, niece of Queen Mary?, she is not wearing a peeress coronet which is surprising, and might indicate I am guessing wrong?); unknown lady (Lady Elphinstone? wearing the royal papyrus tiara and peeress coronet in one picture); unknown gentleman (Earl of Athlone? a peer, wearing the Garter or Thistle chain, not present in both pictures); Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone (wearing diamond wheat tiara)
Third row (left to right) Unknown lady (Marchioness of Cambridge? blurry, wearing a tiara and peeress coronet); unknown gentleman (Marquess of Cambridge nephew of Queen Mary? wearing a coronet and chain); Countess of Southesk (wearing the amethyst tiara and necklace); unknown gentleman (not a peer, Lord Glamis, the Queen´s eldest brother?); unknown lady (Lady Glamis?, wearing a circle diamond tiara); unknown young gentleman (not a peer, David Bowes-Lyon?); unknown lady (Mrs David B-L?, wearing a small diamond tiara); unknown gentleman (not a peer, Michael Bowes-Lyon?); unknown lady (Mrs Michael B-L?, wearing a diamond tiara); unknown young lady (daughter of Lord Glamis?)
Fourth row (left to right) I am unable to identify anyone. But among the people are probably the Marquess of Carisbrooke and his wife and other Mountbatten relatives. Also Queen Mary´s niece Lady Helene Gibbs and nephew Lord Frederick Cambridge.
I miss Lady Rose Bowes-Lyon and her husband William Leweson-Gower (he had not yet succeeded to the Granville title). They would have been seated with other siblings on the second row, which means I might have misidentified people.
