Some colour blasts from the past

Post by Etienne du Plessis »

These photos were taken in 1947 on occasion of the Royal tour of South Africa.
To my knowledge these are the only colour photos from that event in existence .
Would love it if anybody could prove me wrong!

Those are interesting!

Coincidentally last night I was reading about the Royal Tour - so I was extra pleased to see these!
