EDITORS COMMENTS
Royal Farewell: King George V and Queen Mary Depart Edinburgh after the Dedication of the Chapel of the Most Ancient & Noble Order of the Thistle, July 1911. This evocative photograph captures the moment of departure of King George V and Queen Mary from St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland, following the dedication of the Chapel of the Most Ancient & Noble Order of the Thistle in July 1911. The King, dressed in full regalia, and Queen Mary, resplendent in her royal robes, bid farewell to the Scottish capital from the steps of the historic cathedral. The scene is filled with a sense of grandeur and ceremony. The royal family's open carriage, drawn by fine horses, waits below, flanked by an entourage of guardsmen and cavalry riders on horseback. The guards, in their distinctive uniforms, stand at attention, adding to the formal atmosphere. The Chapel of the Most Ancient & Noble Order of the Thistle is a ceremonial order of chivalry, founded by King James VII of Scotland in 1687. The Order is considered one of the oldest and most prestigious orders of chivalry in the British Isles, and its dedication is an important part of Scottish history. As King George V and Queen Mary prepare to leave, the crowds that had gathered to catch a glimpse of the royal family begin to disperse, leaving behind a sense of awe and wonder at the majesty of the occasion. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy and the deep connection between the royal family and the people of Scotland.
