South Africa, Formally dressed guests socialise at a garden party held in honour of the Duke and Duchess of Connaught. Originally described as a garden party in Bloemfontein, however Bloemfontein is inland and this image more closely resembles Cape Town. It could therefore be the pageant described in the itinerary as following the Duke's opening of Parliament, 1910. 1995/076/1/4/1/28.
