Original Toronto Star caption: Arrival and departure were the greatest moments in every centre their majesties visited; from Quebec to Victoria and back across a continent. But louder than ever were the cheers that greeted the King and Queen as they first appeared on the train platform entering Halifax; for this was their last arrival before their final departure from Canada.
