Dear Graham,
If Ernest Brooks was the 'official' photographer during the tour, then there will be a record of this in the Royal Archives at Windsor Castle. I'm not sure, however, that such a thing as an official photographer truly existed. But even if he were just fulfilling commissions at various times, the chances are that records will exist or there will be mention of it somewhere in the archives. You could also investigate what we have in the photograph collection at Windsor. Please contact me if you would like to follow this up, and I can help with appropriate names and emails, etc.
