EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, taken on November 10th, 1947, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in London's history. The image showcases two young scouts, John Shire and Ian Berry, perched on the rooftop of the Boy Scout Association Headquarters in London. Their eyes are fixed upon an official Souvenir Programme of the Royal Wedding set to take place on November 20th. With anticipation radiating from their faces, these dedicated scouts prepare themselves for an important task - selling these coveted programmes to eager spectators. As representatives of the scouting community, they embody values such as loyalty and service that resonate deeply with British traditions. The impending wedding between Philip Mountbatten and Queen Elizabeth II has captured the nation's attention. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how even young individuals were involved in celebrating this historic event. It encapsulates the spirit of unity and excitement that permeated through every corner of London during this joyous occasion. Preserved by Royalty but not intended for commercial use or mentioning any specific company, this remarkable print captures a slice of life from a bygone era when royal weddings held immense significance for both citizens and scouts alike.
