King George VI and Queen Elizabeth began a two day visit to Edinburgh on 26th September 1945, accompanied by their daughters, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret Rose.
It marked a national celebration of final victory in World War II and included a march-past in Princes Street by Forces of all categories. Crowds lined the streets to watch the procession. Later, the Royal party made a late-night tour to observe the celebratory bonfires and firework displays. The visit also included several Investiture ceremonies at the Palace of Holyroodhouse as well as a service at St Giles' Cathedral, before they continued on to other parts of Scotland.
