Maybe that picture you spoke of would be shown in any old magazine or book about either King George VI or Queen Elizabeth (Queen Mother). Or maybe a local newspaper dating back to this event before King George's death. Do you remember what event it was, Beth? Maybe I might look up a local newspaper about this event, if any.
(P.S. maybe GillW might be able to answer how often the Queen Mother had worn that particular brooch)
--Previous Message-- : I have seen a black and white photo (in one of : the British newspapers) of QEQM wearing this : brooch before her husband's death. : Unfortunately, I didn't take a copy. : : :
