In this photo print, we witness a momentous occasion as The King and Queen embark on their visit to Tyneside during the Royal tour. The image captures the grandeur and significance of the event, with all eyes fixed on the regal couple. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly the majestic battleship, King George V, which stands tall and proud in the background. This new 35,000-ton vessel symbolizes strength and power, a testament to Britain's naval might. As it gracefully glides down the slipway in Walker Yard of Vickers Armstrongs on the Tyne River, one can't help but marvel at its sheer size and engineering prowess. The presence of royalty adds an air of excitement to this historic moment. King George V himself takes center stage as he personally launches this magnificent ship into its destined waters. His dignified posture exudes authority while his Queen accompanies him with grace and elegance by his side. This snapshot transports us back to February 1939 when optimism filled the air despite looming uncertainties that would soon engulf Europe in World War II. It serves as a reminder of Britain's industrial prowess during these challenging times - a nation united under its monarchy's leadership. Royalty has always held a special place in our hearts; they represent tradition, heritage, and national pride. This print encapsulates that sentiment perfectly - capturing not only an iconic royal visit but also showcasing British craftsmanship at its finest through this remarkable battleship launch on Tyneside's shores
