Invitation to Captain George Clapshew to attend the presentation of a Totem Pole to Queen Elizabeth II at the Great Windsor Park, 1958. The invitation was from the Agent General of British Columbia (in London). Windsor Great Park is a Royal Park of 5,000 acres including a deer park to the south of the town of Windsor on the border of Berkshire and Surrey in England. The park was, for many centuries, the private hunting ground of Windsor Castle and dates primarily from the mid-13th century. Historically the park covered an area many times the size known as Windsor Forest, Windsor Royal Park or its current name. The park is managed and funded by the Crown Estate. Virginia Water Lake, in the south of the park, is an artificially created lake of around 1 km² dating from the 1740s. Among the lakeside features are the 100-foot high Canadian totem pole commemorating the centenary of British Columbia. In 1958, the government of British Columbia gifted HM The Queen with this 100ft high Totem Pole, to mark the centenary of British Columbia. It was carved by master craftsman Chief Mungo Martin of the Kwakiutl tribe which is located on Vancouver Island. The elaborate ornamentation on the 12-ton pole still fascinates children and adults alike, as they take a moment to sit and admire its many faces, beside the rippling water of Wick Pond and Virginia Water lake.
