Derby Day, 1946
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph capturing a historic moment in British history. The image shows King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (later known as the Queen Mother) arriving at the Epsom Races with their young daughter, Princess Elizabeth (future Queen Elizabeth II), on Derby Day in 1946. The Duke of York, later King George VI, is seen wearing a top hat and a military uniform, while the Duchess of York, later the Queen Mother, is elegantly dressed in a hat and a long coat. Princess Elizabeth, wearing a cute dress and a hat, is holding her mother's hand and looking up at her parents with a sense of excitement and wonder. The photograph was taken during a significant period in British history, following the end of World War II. The crowd in the background, filled with people dressed in their Sunday best, reflects the sense of relief and joy that came with the end of the war. The Derby Stakes, one of the most prestigious horse races in the United Kingdom, added to the excitement of the day. The photograph was published in the book "Princess Elizabeth: The Illustrated Story of Twenty-one Years in the Life of the Heir Presumptive" by Dermot Morrah in 1947. Morrah was a renowned British journalist and author, known for his work on royalty and politics. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of the British monarchy and the joy and excitement that Derby Day brought to the people of Britain during the 1940s. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the past, showcasing the elegance, tradition, and resilience of the British people during a time of great change. It is a snapshot of history that continues to capture the imagination of people around the world, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs.
