In this photograph by David Hume Kennerly, Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain gives a toast at a State Dinner held in her honor. President Gerald R. Ford, who gave a toast before Queen Elizabeth, looks on. The State Dinner was held on July 7, 1976 under a tent in the Rose Garden on the South Grounds of the White House and followed a State Arrival Ceremony held earlier in the day. Queen Elizabeth, along with her husband, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, visited the United States from July 6 to 11 in celebration of the American Bicentennial. During their six day trip, they visited eight American cities, starting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
