The hotel is known as the location where Princess Elizabeth acceded to the throne of the United Kingdom upon the death of her father George VI during a visit in 1952
Well researched Ajeesh
ReplyDeleteLook forward to spiffytrix tomorrow
ReplyDeleteSuresh,
ReplyDeleteWe've got one more of Manna
We have completed 6. Since when is it 7?
ReplyDeleteManna has always been 7 and by the way he will be followed by Neyartha and not Spiffytrix
ReplyDeleteTree Tops is a game reserve in Nyeri, Kenya, where I lived for two decades and more. It is a famous tourist resort and there arearchival pictures of the Queen's ascension (literally) whilst she was holidaying there.
ReplyDeleteVery smart clue but I wonder where Manna got this info from unless he has lived in that part of the world.!!
