Elizabeth, Duchess of York attempts to knock down a coconut

Elizabeth, Duchess of York (1900-2002) (later Elizabeth, the Queen Mother) attempts to knock down a coconut at the coconut shies at the Fresh Air Fund annual outing in Epping Forest (along with 1000 poor children) - apparently two seconds after this shot was taken she knocked over "a milky one"! (see 10587580 for evidence of her brother-in-law having a go at the same stand (at the same event) four years later!)
