With this year's Great Yorkshire Show in full swing, Press reader David Findlay decided now was a good time to send us a photo of his dad Kenneth meeting the King there. King George VI, that is.

The photo shows David's dad, Kenneth Norman Findlay OBE, showing his prize cattle to the King at the show. The Queen Mother and Princess Margaret (scratching her neck) can also be seen in the photo.

The photograph was taken in 1948, not long after the Findlay family moved to York when Kenneth became chief livestock husbandry officer for Lancashire and Yorkshire. 

A second picture shows Princess Margaret and the Queen Mother - though there's no sign of the young Princess Elizabeth.

The 2022 Great Yorkshire Show continues all week until Friday.
