EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the solemn arrival of Diana, Princess of Wales' coffin at RAF Northolt in South Ruislip on August 31st, 1997. The image showcases the immense respect and honor bestowed upon the late princess as she returns from Villacoublay airfield in France to her home country. The Queens Colour Squadron, hailing from neighboring RAF Uxbridge, stands united as the bearer party for this somber occasion. The significance of this moment is further emphasized by the presence of distinguished figures who have come to pay their respects. Prime Minister Tony Blair, along with the Lord Chamberlain and Lord Lieutenant of Greater London, gather alongside the Secretary of State for Defence and the RAF Northolt station commander. Their presence symbolizes a nation mourning its beloved princess. As Diana's coffin is draped with a flag representing her royal status, it becomes evident that this photograph encapsulates both sorrow and reverence. The Royal Air Force Chaplain-in-Chief adds an element of spiritual solace amidst this heartbreaking scene. Kent Gavin's skillful lens has immortalized a pivotal moment in history when sadness enveloped not only Britain but also people around the world. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Diana's enduring legacy and her profound impact on society during her all-too-short life.
