EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Eleanor Cross, a Victorian replica standing proudly outside Charing Cross railway station in central London. Originally erected by King Edward I in memory of his beloved wife, Eleanor of Castile, in the 13th century, the crosses were built at the sites where the queen's body rested during her funeral procession from Lincoln to London. The original crosses, of which only two remain today, were a symbol of the king's deep love and devotion to his wife. This particular replica, dating back to 1863, was commissioned during the Victorian era as part of the wider restoration and redevelopment of Charing Cross station. The cross stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Eleanor of Castile and her husband's eternal love. The photograph showcases the intricate details of the cross, from its ornate carvings to its tall, slender form. The cross is surrounded by the hustle and bustle of modern London, with the buildings and structures of Charing Cross station in the background. Despite the urban surroundings, the cross remains a tranquil and historic landmark, a reminder of the rich history and heritage of the city. The Eleanor Cross outside Charing Cross station continues to draw visitors from all over the world, who come to pay their respects to the memory of Eleanor of Castile and to marvel at the beauty and significance of this historic monument.
