"W and G Foyle: A Journey Through Royal Engagements" Step into the world as we explore their captivating photographs from various royal engagements. From Glamis Castle, the ancestral home of Queen Elizabeth, to the Parade of Boy Scouts and Girl Guides in Adelaide, Australia, these snapshots offer a glimpse into a bygone era. In 1937, at Royal Lodge in Windsor, we witness the country home of the royal family. The serene surroundings provide an idyllic backdrop for moments captured by an unknown creator. Another enchanting image takes us to a new playground on the site of the Old Foundling Hospital where Her Majesty graces us with her presence. The Jubilee Celebrations of King George V bring Their Majesties to Edinburgh in both 1935 and 1937. Dressed in Highland attire, His Majesty arrives at St. Giles Cathedral amidst great fanfare. Meanwhile, at Southampton's Royal Agricultural Show in 1932 and 1937, they immerse themselves in rural festivities. His Majesty's adventures take him far beyond palaces and castles; he inspects a miniature railway at New Romney in Kent (1926) while driving a tram through Glasgow's streets (1924). These candid moments reveal his down-to-earth nature despite his regal status. Camp life is not unfamiliar to this monarch either - friendly chats are exchanged during leisurely days spent at Southwold Camp in Suffolk (1937). Additionally, His Boys Camp receives special attention as he personally oversees its activities with genuine interest. Finally, we join King George VI as he solemnly attends an Armistice Day Ceremony at Whitehall's Cenotaph on November 11th - an annual tradition that holds deep significance for our nation. Through these remarkable images captured between 1924 and 1937 by unknown creators associated with W and G Foyle, we gain insight into both the public and private lives of British royalty.
