EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment of the arrival of King George V and Queen Mary at St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland during their Royal Visit in July 1911. The King, dressed in full regalia, sits confidently beside his Queen as they make their way towards the entrance of the ancient Kirk, accompanied by their entourage. The open carriage, adorned with the Union Jack and the Royal Standard, cuts through the dense crowds that had gathered to witness the grand occasion. The Royal Visit of 1911 was a significant event in Scottish history, marking the dedication of the Chapel of the Most Ancient and Noble Order of the Thistle. This ceremonial order, established in 1687, is the highest chivalric order in Scotland, and its members are chosen by the Monarch for their contributions to the country. The atmosphere is filled with a sense of pomp and pageantry, as the Royal Family disembarks from their carriage and make their way towards the Chapel. The King and Queen are greeted with warm smiles and cheers from the Scottish crowd, who have come out in their thousands to show their loyalty and admiration. This photograph is a testament to the deep-rooted history and tradition that surrounds the British Monarchy, and the strong connection between the Royal Family and the people of Scotland. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of grandeur and elegance.
