This event is thought to be part of the celebrations held in Palmerston North at the end of World War Two. Military and civilians, including the Mayor Gus Mansford, are seated before a crowd on the rostrum. Behind (from left) can be seen the BNZ, on the corner of Fitzherbert Avenue, the spire of All Saints Church and the Grand Hotel. Also see 2011G_ELMAR-2-B10_005216 and 2011G_ELMAR-2-B10_005218
