Royal procession in New York City
Royal procession in New York City
Four million people gave an almost hysterical welcome to the King and Queen in New York. More than a million school children waved British and American flags. Their majesties drove up the west side highway on their way to the New York World’s Fair. Against a typical New York background of Skyscrapers, and preceded by a motorcycle police escort carrying a Union Jack, the Royal procession passes along the west side highway in New York City towards New York World’s Fair on June 10, 1939.
