King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visited the Niagara area in 1939. In this photo, David Hanniwell and Eleanor Donald were to present the queen with flowers. David was refusing to do this because the royal couple weren't wearing their "king's hats". David's father, Carl Hanniwell was the Mayor of Niagara Falls, Ontario. He is bending over and coaxing his son to hand over the flowers.
