EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant and historic photograph, Major John Evelyn Gibbs (1879-1932) and Lady Helena Cambridge (born Princess Helena of Teck, later changed to Cambridge following the outbreak of World War I) (1899-1969) exchange vows at the majestic St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, Windsor, Berkshire, England on the 2nd of September, 1919. Major Gibbs, who later became Colonel Gibbs, is resplendent in his military uniform, adorned with medals and insignia, reflecting his distinguished military career. His bride, Lady Helena, is a vision in her stunning white wedding gown, complete with a long, flowing veil and an exquisite bouquet of flowers. The Royal Family was well represented at the wedding, with King George V and Queen Mary in attendance, along with other members of the aristocracy and high society. The union of Major Gibbs and Lady Helena was a significant social event, as she was a princess by birth, making this a royal wedding in every sense. St. George's Chapel, a beautiful and historic venue, has been the site of numerous royal weddings and coronations throughout history. Its grand architecture and serene atmosphere provided the perfect setting for this joyous occasion. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, with its formal attire, grand setting, and the presence of royalty. It is a testament to the timeless beauty and tradition of a wedding ceremony, and a reminder of the history and heritage that surrounds us. Major John Evelyn Gibbs and Lady Helena Cambridge's wedding at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, on the 2nd of September, 1919, was a grand and historic occasion that brought together two prominent figures of the time in a beautiful and memorable celebration of love and commitment.
