EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, four intrepid ladies are seen perched atop a statue's plinth, securing an excellent vantage point to witness the historic royal wedding of Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II) and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, on 20 November 1947. The scene unfolds at the iconic Westminster Abbey, where the young couple exchanged their marriage vows in the presence of an eager and sizeable public. The ladies' appearance may belie their athletic ability, as they gracefully scale the plinth, seemingly unfazed by the height or the occasion's grandeur. Their determination to secure the best possible view of the royal event speaks to the palpable excitement and anticipation that surrounded the wedding of the future monarch and her husband. The photograph offers a unique perspective on the day's festivities, capturing the spirit of the public's fascination with the royal family and their nuptials. The image also serves as a testament to the enduring allure of royal weddings and the lengths people will go to witness such momentous occasions. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans / Photo Union Collection, provides a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the excitement and anticipation that surrounded the royal wedding of 1947. The four ladies' daring climb to the plinth serves as a reminder of the power of human spirit and the enduring allure of royalty.
