EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment during the Carlisle Historical Pageant in August 1928, when King William IV's coach made a grand appearance outside the Famous Old Blacksmiths Shop at Gretna Green, Scotland. The coach, drawn by a team of fine horses, was a significant attraction, transporting passengers in regal style reminiscent of a bygone era. Queen Adelaide, an aunt of Queen Victoria, had once traveled in this very coach, adding to its rich history and allure. The image is filled with the spirit of the 1920s, as men and women dressed in historical costumes gather around the coach, eager to witness this remarkable spectacle. The Famous Old Blacksmiths Shop, a well-known landmark in Gretna Green, stands proudly in the background, its dark, imposing silhouette contrasting against the brightly lit coach and the clear, Scottish sky. The Carlisle Historical Pageant was an annual event that celebrated the rich history and heritage of the region, and the presence of King William IV's coach was a fitting addition to the festivities. The photograph not only captures the essence of the pageant but also offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the grandeur and elegance of royal travel during the 19th century. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of history and the fascination it holds for generations, making it a valuable addition to any collection or display.
