The whole spread from the ILN. --Previous Message-- : In the thread below, I mentioned that Princess : Elizabeth was given 5 large diamonds after : opening a Graving Dock in South Africa in : early March 1947. According to Roberts (and : The Times) the Princess exclamation of : delight was picked up by a nearby : microphone. : In the London Illustrated News 22 March 1947 : p 284 there is a photograph of these : diamonds. They are large. I do not have a : web account for photos, so could someone : post the image please. : As far as I am aware the two half moon : diamonds do not appear in any jewellery the : Queen wears publicly. :
