Description: | In this photograph England rugby players are cheering King George V who has taken his hat off in acknowledgement. The scene took place at Twickenham Stadium at a match between England and France on 27th February 1926. In the background the North Stand is packed with supporters. The King was a keen rugby fan and Stadium officials at Twickenham reportedly kept a seat free at every match for the monarch because it was usual for him to arrive unexpectedly. England went on to defeat France 11-0. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | World Rugby Museum | Rights holder: | World Rugby Museum | Subjects: | Sport | Temporal: | 27 FEB 1926 | Source: | World Rugby Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
