EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of the historic Royal Wedding of Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II) and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, on November 20, 1947. The image shows the vast crowds of spectators gathered in the streets of London, eager to witness the procession from Westminster Abbey. The scene is one of crush and chaos, with people jostling for position and many holding periscopes to catch a glimpse of the royal couple. Mounted police officers, pictured in the heart of the crowd, work tirelessly to maintain order and ensure the safety of those in attendance. Their horses, powerful and steadfast, plow through the throngs of people, providing a sense of stability amidst the chaos. The Royal Wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip was a significant moment in British history, marking the end of World War II and the beginning of a new era. The joy and hope that the event brought to the British people is palpable in this photograph, as they gather together to celebrate the union of their future monarch and her husband. The photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Prints Online / Mary Evans / Photo Union Collection, is a testament to the power of community and the enduring allure of royalty. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to relive the excitement and emotion of one of the most memorable moments in British history.
