Royal Visit 1960-Stromness

Royal Visit 1960-Stromness
Queen with Stromness lifeboat crew (I don't know any of the names but I am sure others will, Prince Philip hidden by the flowers) during Royal Visit in 1960, doesn't seem to be raining at that point but it was shortly before (see picture #23570). Taken by my father who was on the Stromness Town Council at the time.

I think that the crew on the left is Longhope. The two in uniform caps look like Engineer Bob Johnston and coxwain Dan Kirkpatrick
