EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the excitement and anticipation of the crowd outside Buckingham Palace is palpable as they eagerly await a glimpse of the newlywed royal family following the wedding of Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II) and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, on 20 November 1947. The young couple had tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony at Westminster Abbey, and now the people had gathered to catch a glimpse of their monarch and her new husband as they appeared on the balcony to wave and acknowledge the adoring crowds. The photograph captures a sea of upturned faces, craning their necks to get a better view of the royal family, their expressions filled with joy and wonder. The sense of community and shared experience is evident, as people from all walks of life come together to celebrate this momentous occasion. The scene is one of unity and happiness, a poignant reminder of a time when the monarchy and its people were deeply connected. The photograph also serves as a snapshot of the era, with the fashion and attire of the time on full display.

It is a poignant reminder of the connection between the monarchy and its people, and the sense of community and shared history that binds them.
