Photographer Ron Case was assigned to cover the funeral of King George VI. For fulfilling the task the editorial office had given a very strange camera to Case. It was collected from two different old cameras.
That is why it was heavy and large. Case took the camera and went to the funeral site by bus. There was a café in the neighborhood, where the photographer took several boxes intended for bottles and created a special device for putting the camera on it.
He stood and waited for the funeral procession. That day Ron Case took the photo of Princess Elizabeth (the new Queen), Queen Mary (the King’s widow), and Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mother).
