'The Queen and the shy colliery boy, R. Morris'. Following their coronation King George V and Queen Mary toured the South Wales Coalfield and paid a visit to a Rhondda pit. A special tram was built for the Queen and drawn by a colliery pony. The collier boy on the right (R. Morris), due to make a presentation, is overcome by shyness.
