In celebration of the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s son, George Alexander Louis, this week’s Photo Friday takes us back to May 22, 1939. On this day, King George VI – the royal baby’s great-grandfather – visited Toronto. This photo was taken at Christie Street Hospital, on the west side of Christie Street, north of Dupont Street.
