In this striking photograph from October 1934, Albert, Duke of York, later King George VI, extends a warm handshake to members of the Cheadle Hulme and Manchester University lacrosse teams during a visit to Manchester. The Duke, who would ascend to the throne in 1936, was greeted with enthusiasm by the athletes, who proudly lined up to be introduced. The 1930s were an era of great significance for British sports, and lacrosse was no exception. The game, which originated in North America, had gained popularity in the United Kingdom, and the Duke's visit to these teams showcased the sport's growing prominence. The teams, dressed in their respective uniforms, display a sense of camaraderie and excitement as they meet the Duke, who was known for his support of various sports and physical activities. The Duke's visit to Manchester was part of a wider tour of the region, during which he inspected various military and civilian organizations. His interest in sports and physical fitness was well-known, and his interactions with the lacrosse teams underscored his commitment to promoting an active lifestyle. The photograph captures a moment of connection between the Duke and the athletes, highlighting the shared passion for lacrosse and the spirit of sportsmanship that united them.
