Default King and Queen's visit to 1 Canadian Division

Are there any photos extant please of the King and Queen's visit to 1 Division at Aldershot in early June 1940 I think it was? My PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CANADA'S ARMY OVERSEAS has two, and you can see a CMP in the background.

I am also after photos of the official visit by the Earl of Athlone in May when the Governor-General was shown the 1938 Chevrolet 15-cwt GS truck [DND number Z 38-1-20 serial # 815312825] a photo of which was in WHEELS & TRACKS showing that it had been repainted and allocated a 'CZ 42XXXXX' number. Basically it seems that in May the Division had the Chevy, Bedford MW and other British types plus Carriers and then in June Southampton-assembled F15s, and possibly heavier CMPs.
