Queen Elizabeth II Escorted in Her Royal Attire

(Original Caption) London: The Queen At St. Pauls Cathedral. The Queen Elizabeth II, protected by an umbrella, arrives at St. Paul's Cathedral 5/20/60, for the dedication service of the Chapel of the "Most Excellent Order Of The British Empire." Her Majesty is Sovereign Head Of The Order, and because there has been no previous ceremony or service at which the Sovereign was present, a new mantle for the Queen was designed for today's service. It is a full length kirtle, closed and fastened down the front, made of rich satin and lined with grey spun silk. It has been designed for the Sovereign as a Queen, rather than for a male Sovereign. The close fitting garment has a cape and flowing train.
