HELEN BRADLEY (1900-1979)
The Morning After the Royal Visit to Manchester
signed 'HELEN BRADLEY' and with a fly (lower right), inscribed 'On the morning after the Royal Visit to Manchester/I remembered asking Grandma to invite the Queen/to tea, because Grandma happened to say that she/was sure the Queen must be tired having to wait/so long for her dinner. It was ten minutes to one when/she and the King passed where we were standing and/they had to drive all round Manchester to stop/at the Town Hall. We were already very hungry, so I thought it a/ good idea to ask the Queen to visit Grandma and/have a cup of tea, so when I awoke the next morning/I asked Mother if I could go to Grandma's, Mother saw/me across the road and there was Grandma in her front/ garden, "Grandma," I said, "Did the Queen come to Tea yesterday."/"Now," she said, "you must go and ask Aunt Mary" So I dashed/into the kitchen, "Aunt Mary." I cried, "Did the Queen come to/Tea." "Yes my dear," she said, "and she said Aunt Mary/how do you make Yorkshire Pudding," so whilst she drank/her tea I showed her how I make it because there is a secret/and the day was the 14th of July 1905.'
