EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a group of intrepid journalists and photographers eagerly await the anticipated moment on the Victoria Memorial outside Buckingham Palace. The year is 1986, and the electrifying atmosphere is palpable as the crowd holds its collective breath in anticipation of the balcony kiss between Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and his bride, Sarah Ferguson. The Duke and Duchess of York's wedding day on July 23rd was a grand affair, drawing the attention of the world. The young couple, beaming with joy and excitement, were about to share their first public kiss as husband and wife. The photographers, poised with their cameras and lenses at the ready, knew that they had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture this iconic moment for posterity. The Victoria Memorial, a magnificent monument to Queen Victoria, serves as the perfect backdrop for this historic event. The ornate sculptures and intricate details of the memorial stand in stark contrast to the modern technology of the cameras and the anticipation in the air. The photographers' focused expressions and the tension in their bodies speak to the importance of their task - to document this royal event for their audiences. This image is a testament to the power of journalism and photography in capturing and preserving history. The momentary pause before the balcony kiss, the expectant gazes of the photographers, and the grandeur of the setting all come together to create a captivating image that transports us back in time to the Royal Wedding of 1986.
