Queen Mother

This is my uncle Bert Grieve talking to the Queen Mother when she opened the playpark at Picky. Does anyone know the correct date as this is just a guess going by what she is wearing.

There's footage of this visit on the first of Dougie Shearer's "Visions of the Past" videos. It was August 1956.
