Description

John Erskine, The Lord Erskine of Rerrick, was the fourth of Northern Ireland’s five Governors, taking over from Lord Wakehurst in 1964. Public engagements took up a lot of time in this mainly ceremonial role and the Governor was recorded by UTV at a number of such events through the years. Here he is seen officially opening the Temple of the Winds at Mount Stewart on the Ards Peninsula. Based on the Temple of Winds in Athens, this marked the completion of two years renovation work at the National Trust property.
