HRH Princess Elizabeth watching parachutists during a visit to airborne forces at Netheravon Airfield, Salisbury, Wiltshire in England in the run-up to D-Day.
19 May 1944Standing next to her is Brigadier Stanley James Ledger Hill DSO, MC – Brigade HQ, 3rd Parachute Brigade.
“I think the King and Queen and the Princess enjoyed their day with us. To us all it was a great occasion, one that I am sure none of us will ever forget. Their Majesties had tea at the Royal Air Force station at Netheravon, Air Vice-Marshal Hollinghurst’s headquarters. The whole occasion was so happily informal and gay. This, too, at the end of a long day of inspections and endless walking along lines of troops which, in spite of all the interest that there undoubtedly was, must have been tiring to the Queen.”
