Stephen Reker Sent the photos of a Royal tandem, a 1935 BSA, along with the following description: "From the Windsor Family Bicycle Collection. The Curator of the bicycles said this tandem was in the bicycle shed when he came to work for the Queen Mum many years ago. He stated it was not to be ridden because of it's connection with Senior Royals, however there is 2,409 miles on the cyclometer & has war-time lighting. I presume this tandem was a gift to King George V & Queen Mary in 1935 for their Silver Jubilee. This bicycle was purchased from U K Auction."
