Description
Description from the Bahamas News Bureau with the photograph reads: "One stop on a Saturday morning sightseeing expedition around Nassau is the changing of the guard outside Government House. The world-famous, 24-piece Royal Bahamas Police Band struts through its paces at 10:00 a.m. before the elegant Georgian mansion which is the home of his Excellency the Governor Sir Ralph Grey. Visitors armed with cameras will snap some of the most lasting mementos of their Nassau holiday during this tropical reminiscence of 'merrie old England'." This photo was taken as part of events when Eastern Airlines had ceremonies marking their inaugural flight into the Bahamas.
