EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from April 1957, we catch a glimpse of the iconic Queen Elizabeth II during her Royal Tour of Worcestershire and Herefordshire. The image showcases Her Majesty's grace and elegance as she graces Worcester with her presence. Standing on the extreme left is K. W. C. Grand, the esteemed General Manager of British Railways Western Region. The Queen's visit to Worcester was undoubtedly a momentous occasion for both locals and railway enthusiasts alike. As she embarked on her tour, excitement filled the air, and crowds gathered to catch a glimpse of their beloved monarch. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates that historic day in late April 1957. Accompanied by Mr. Keith Walter Chamberlain Grand, affectionately known as K. W. C. , Her Majesty radiates regality against the backdrop of an enchanting cityscape. The photograph serves as a testament to the enduring connection between royalty and British railways—a symbol of unity and progress. Preserved at STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), this timeless image allows us to relive an extraordinary moment in history when two influential figures converged in one frame: Queen Elizabeth II, representing tradition and sovereignty, alongside K. W. C Grand, embodying innovation within British Railways Western Region. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph today, it reminds us not only of our rich heritage but also celebrates those who have shaped our nation's past while inspiring future generations.
