EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from May 1931, The Duchess of York, later to become Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, presents an award to Miss Ethel Roberts of Birmingham, affectionately known as "Nippy," during a visit to the renowned bakeries of J. Lyons & Co. Ltd. at Caby Hall in Hammersmith, London. The Duchess, accompanied by her husband, The Duke of York (later King George VI), is dressed elegantly in a long-sleeved, high-waisted dress with a floral headpiece, reflecting the grace and sophistication of the era. The Duchess' warm and approachable demeanor is evident as she presents the award to Miss Roberts, who proudly holds up her trophy with a beaming smile. The bakeries of J. Lyons & Co. Ltd. were a significant part of British life in the 1930s, providing employment for thousands and offering affordable meals and treats to the public. The Duchess' visit to these esteemed establishments showcases her connection to the people and her role as a patron of various organizations. Miss Roberts, affectionately referred to as "Nippy," is a testament to the company's commitment to recognizing and celebrating the achievements of its employees. Her joyful expression and the Duchess' genuine engagement with her demonstrate the strong bond between the royal family and the British public during this period. This photograph, taken in the early 1930s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era and the enduring connection between the monarchy and the people they served.
