EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1950s, we witness a momentous occasion as Alderman Sir Wilfrid Martineau, chairman of Birmingham Education Committee, warmly greets Princess Elizabeth at Villa Park. The air is filled with excitement and anticipation as these esteemed individuals come together to mark an important visit to the West Midlands. Accompanying them is Lord Willoughby de Broke, the distinguished Lord Lieutenant of Warwickshire. As they stand amidst a vibrant display of flowers, their presence exudes elegance and grace befitting royalty. This snapshot captures not only a historical event but also showcases the beauty and charm of Birmingham in its heyday. Princess Elizabeth's radiant smile reflects her genuine appreciation for the warm welcome she receives from both Alderman Sir Wilfrid Martineau and Lord Willoughby de Broke. Little did anyone know at that time that she would go on to become Queen Elizabeth II - one of the longest-reigning monarchs in British history. This image serves as a reminder of an era when royal visits were highly anticipated events that brought communities together. It symbolizes unity, respect, and admiration for those who hold positions of power and influence. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints' dedicated staff, this print allows us to step back in time and relive this remarkable moment in Birmingham's history. It serves as a testament to our rich heritage while reminding us of the enduring legacy left behind by those who have shaped our society.
