The Queen & Prince Philip at Liverpool Street Station, 29th May 1981

This image shows The Queen & Prince Philip walking with officials at Liverpool Street Station in London on 29th May 1981. The timing of the photograph and the poster in the background about flooding indicate that this visit may have been linked to the aftermath of the snow storm of April 1981 which caused widespread flooding, and the construction of the Thames Barrier
