The Marquis of Aberdeen greets the Queen as she arrives of yesterday's Braemar Gathering. Behind her, wearing the kilt, is the Duke of Edinburgh. Other members of the Royal party were Prince Edward, Duke of Kent; his brother, Prince Michael, and sister, Princess Alexandra. The arena in a little village, lying in a hollow of the Cairngorm foothills, was packed with well over 40,000 spectators - a record - and there were thousands more outside. September 05, 1952.
