EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in sporting history - the World Cup plaque at Wembley Stadium. The plaque stands as a proud testament to Queen Elizabeth II's presence at both the opening and closing matches of the 1966 FIFA World Cup, held right here in Greater London. Wembley Stadium, known as an iconic football ground, hosted this prestigious tournament that united nations through their shared love for the beautiful game. The Jules Rimet Cup, symbolizing world football championship glory, took center stage during those exhilarating matches. The photograph beautifully showcases the commemorative plaque itself, adorned with intricate details and inscriptions that forever immortalize Her Majesty's attendance. It serves as a reminder of how sport can bring people together and create lasting memories. Simon Inglis expertly captures not just the physicality of this historic artifact but also its symbolic significance. His lens highlights every nuance of this remarkable piece while also capturing the essence of sportsmanship and competition that defines football. As we gaze upon this image, our minds are transported back to that electrifying atmosphere within Wembley Park all those years ago. We can almost hear the roar of passionate fans and feel their excitement pulsating through our veins. This print is more than just a depiction; it is an invitation to relive one of England's proudest moments on home soil – when they lifted their first-ever World Cup trophy in front of their beloved Queen Elizabeth II.
