‘The motorcade escorting the King & Queen of England approaches the #Trylon & #Perisphere.’
The first stop was the Perylon Hall, the Fair’s reception headquarters. 60 motorcycle policemen and a 25-car motorcade then escorted them on a tour of the grounds.

‘Flanked by Boy Scouts, President Franklin D. Roosevelt opened New York’s $160,000,000 World’s Fair with an address in which he said America has “hitched her wagon to a star of good will”, on April 30, 1939. He emphasized the United States’ desire for placid living among the countries of the world and expressed hope that the future would see a breakdown of “many barriers of intercourse” among European nations.’ AP Photo/John Lindsay https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2013/11/the-1939-new-york-worlds-fair/
