The Queen (glittering in the Vladimir Tiara and Delhi Durbar Parure), Duke of Edinburgh, Shah of Iran, and Empress Farah (wearing her Noor-ol-Ain Tiara) arrive for a Return Banquet at the British Embassy in Tehran on this day in 1961, during the British State Visit to Iran.

I am very impressed to learn about the Queen’s visit to Tehran, Iran in 1961.
