Queen Elizabeth and King George VI visit Swansea in South Wales

Queen Elizabeth and King George VI visit Swansea in South Wales, to comfort and support the local people after the Three Nights Blitz on Swansea a few weeks before.
The Swansea three Nights Blitz was the heavy and sustained bombing of Swansea by the German Luftwaffe from 19 to 21 February 1941. A total of 230 people were killed and 397 were injured. Swansea was selected by the Germans as a legitimate strategic target due to its importance as a port and docks and the oil refinery just beyond.
The King and Queen themselves were hit by The Blitz, at Buckingham Palace in London. They refused to leave Britain, and instead chose to stay close to their people. The public respected the Royal Family for this act.
