    Hello,

    It's seems to be in an hospital, the nurse is an army nurse and the second man standing on the right side has two wings on his cap. May be the air force in a airport. I suppose a military airport but I don't know the name of these celebrities.

    Have a good evening

    The 'celebrities' are the Queen Mother, Princess Elizabeth (the Current Queen Elizabeth II) and Princess Margaret.

    Given the age of the princesses this is probably during WWII.

    Guessing by the age of the princesses, this looks to be around 1939. The King and the Queen Mother opened the Queen Elizabeth hospital in Birmingham that year, but that building was, for it's tme, very large and 'modern', whereas the buildings in your picture look more utilitarian. Good luck with the continued research...

    From Wikipedia, re Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham..

    When opened on 31 December 1938 by the Duke of Gloucester and his wife, it consisted of the Vincent Medical Block, the Cadbury Surgical Block, and the Nuffield House Nurses’ Home. It became known as the Queen Elizabeth Hospital when it was officially opened by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth on 1 March 1939,[2] just ove'r two years after Elizabeth became queen.[3]
