Some of the heads have cards beside them indicating who shot them; one card reads ’Shot By HM The Queen’, a skull with horns has a Nazi swastika flag hanging beside it - from General Hermann Goering. The Earl of Athlone makes a speech about the heads (his collection comes mostly from Africa) and declares the exhibition open; cutaways show the heads of more animals, including a walrus and a stuffed wildcat.
