EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in history as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh embark on their Royal Tour of Ghana in 1961. The image shows their arrival at Accra International Airport, where they are warmly welcomed by Ghanaian President Kwame Nkrumah and a delegation of tribal chiefs. Dressed in traditional Ghanaian attire, the chiefs extend their hands in a gesture of peace and friendship, while President Nkrumah greets the Queen and Duke with a firm handshake. The Royal Tour of Ghana marked the first official visit of a British monarch to sub-Saharan Africa. The visit was a symbol of the newly independent nation's close ties with the United Kingdom, which had played a significant role in Ghana's struggle for independence. The tour included various engagements, such as meetings with local leaders, visits to schools and hospitals, and cultural events showcasing Ghanaian traditions. The Queen and Duke are seen here in various scenes from the tour, including a visit to a local market, where they are surrounded by curious onlookers, and a meeting with tribal leaders in traditional dress. The photograph captures the excitement and warmth of the Ghanaian people as they welcome the British monarch to their country, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Ghana during the 1960s. This photograph is a testament to the historical significance of the Royal Tour of Ghana and the enduring relationship between Ghana and the United Kingdom. It offers a fascinating insight into the world of royalty and diplomacy during the 1960s, and the importance of cultural exchange and understanding between nations.
