Above- Hood at anchor in Vancouver Bay
Above- The ship is open to visitors.
This shot shows the massive size of "A" and "B" turrets. It also well illustrates the height of the foremast and spotting top.
Above- March past of the
seamen. Note the running man at the left hand side of the photograph
who seems to be holding a large box camera - possibly an official
photographer.
Above- A clearer shot a few
seconds later. Note the large crowd on either side of the street.
Edward certainly picked himself an excellent position from which
to record the event.
Above & Below- The salute is taken by
Victor Oldum accompanied by the Flag Officer of the Special
Service Squadron, Vice Admiral Sir Frederick Field.
