1947 Signal Hill Capetown
In 1947 I was a small girl at a primary school called 'Kings Road School' in Capetown. The royal family came into Table Bay on the HMS Vanguard to pay a visit to South Africa. On board was our present Queen who was then Princess Elizabeth. She celebrated her 21sth birthday in Capetown. We climbed Signal Hill dressed in our brown uniforms and white panama hats and stood in a line to form the word WELCOME.
