On 19th March 1946 Princess Elizabeth (the future Queen Elizabeth II
On 19th March 1946 Princess Elizabeth (the future Queen Elizabeth II) paid a visit to Comber. She attended a baptism in St Marys Parish Church where she was godmother to Elizabeth Lavinia Sara - the infant daughter of James Osborne King and his wife, the former Elizabeth Patricia White, who had been lady-in-waiting to the Princess.
The ceremony was performed by the Bishop of Down and Dromore, the Right Rev Ws Kerr, assisted by the Rev Js Houston, Rector of Comber.
Afterwards the Princess appeared at the porch along with the baby and her parents. Here she clasped the baby in her arms and dozens of photos were taken. Then she was driven to the home of Mr and Mrs King at Carnesure House where she remained for a while before returning to Belfast.

Afterward, Princess Elizabeth emerged from the church's porch holding baby Elizabeth in her arms.
