What is she?

Any thoughts as to what this lady is? I can only think something to do with Civil Defence but I don't recognise the badge - it looks like a Norman castle.

Possibly a Newcastle on Tyne or Northumberland connection.

I cannot ID her, but a couple of observations - her BD and beret look to be very dark blue or black, and there seems to be some kind of small badge on her tie near the knot.

Its a post war Senior Girl Guides uniform - similar to war time battledress jacket with beret showing London area/district enamel badge worn over two pieces of colored felt. Badge on tie is a GG warrant badge

Thank you all for your responses/observations and to Milmed for the detailed identification. I didn't realise that GGs ever wore that type of uniform - always learn new things on the forum.

Just as a side, here are a couple of pictures of Princess Elizabeth, now Queen Elizabeth, as a Girl Guide. The one in color gives a good idea of the color of the uniform.

Thanks for the pictures Terry. Princess Elizabeth appears to be wearing the London District badge on the shoulder strap.

The colour picture is Princess Margaret

Thanks for the correction Tim. I'll amend my file that I have that picture in.
