Queen and Prince Philip doon the pier

Picture taken 1960, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh on an official visit to Orkney with the launch off the Royal Yacht Britannia waiting to pick them up at the Corn Slip after lunch in the Kikwall Hotel. Tthe waiting crowd on the Pier and the red carpet on the Slip make for quite an event. I believe they went to Sronsay later in the day before sailing in the "Britannia" to Aberdeen.
