EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in British royal history as King George V and Queen Mary make their way down the aisle of St. Paul's Cathedral for their Silver Wedding anniversary service in July 1918. The royal party, preceded by the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, walked in solemn procession to the sound of the hymn, "Praise, my soul the King of Heaven." The King, resplendent in his military uniform, and the Queen, elegantly dressed in a gown of ivory satin and lace, are accompanied by Queen Alexandra and Princess Victoria. The tiled floor of the cathedral, with its intricate designs, adds a sense of grandeur and history to the scene. The people in the pews, some in military uniforms, bow in deference as the royals pass by, a testament to the deep-rooted respect and loyalty of the British people towards their monarch. This historical photograph, painted by the renowned artist Matania, is a poignant reminder of a bygone era and the enduring symbolism of the monarchy in the hearts and minds of the British people.
