EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this historic print from May 1956, we witness the remarkable Queen Elizabeth II inspecting the Guards alongside the Duke of Gloucester. The regal presence of Her Majesty is matched only by her dedication to her Household Brigade, as she graciously meets with the Regimental Colonels. Standing proudly beside her is none other than the Duke of Edinburgh, embodying strength and loyalty as Colonel of the Welsh Guards. From left to right, we see esteemed figures such as General Sir Henry Loyd representing Coldstream Guards, Field Marshal Earl Alexander representing Irish Guards, and General Lord Jeffreys standing for Grenadiers. Together, they symbolize a united front in service to their country. In another poignant moment captured within this print collection, we witness Queen Elizabeth II opening the Household Brigade Memorial Cloister at Birdcage Walk. This sacred space holds deep significance as it stands testament to officers and men who valiantly lost their lives during World War II. A powerful reminder of sacrifice and bravery that should never be forgotten. This snapshot from a bygone era not only showcases royalty but also pays tribute to those who fought tirelessly for our freedom. It serves as a timeless reminder that even amidst conflict and destruction caused by bombings during World War II, unity prevails.
