EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a section of the vast crowd that gathered in London's Trafalgar Square on 20 November 1947, to welcome Princess Elizabeth and her bridegroom, Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, as they made their way to Westminster Abbey for their royal wedding. The image, taken from Admiralty Arch, showcases the sheer scale of the public's enthusiasm for the historic event, with thousands of people packed into the square to catch a glimpse of the young couple's procession. The spectacle of the royal wedding came as a welcome distraction for the British people, who were still recovering from the hardships of World War II. Princess Elizabeth, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II, and her husband, who would be known as the Duke of Edinburgh, looked on from the carriage, waving and smiling at the cheering crowd. The wedding of the future Queen and her prince consort was a momentous occasion, marking the beginning of a new era for the British monarchy and the people it served.
