Queen’s Park Children’s Concert
1946

About this memory
You can spot Dad’s blond hair shining in the middle of this photo. After the Second World War they used to have musical concerts for children in the Queen’s Park and Princes Street Gardens. Here we can see terraces cut in to the hillside with benches for the children to sit on.
