Dalkey  Island, Co Dublin, Ireland.- Crowning the King of the Dalkey Island by Members of CARA.18/07/1954<br />
<br />
The Island has been occupied at various times in prehistory (possibly as long as 6000 years there is an early 7th century Christian Church, St Begnet's)<br />
<br />
In the late 18th century a mock title of "King of Dalkey" was created to poke fun at the pomposities of the government of the day.
