1. Title: A Regal Procession in Parliament Square: The 1934 Royal Wedding of Prince George, Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina of Greece 2. Description: Parliament Square in London, a historic site rich in past pageantry and the immediate neighbourhood of Westminster Abbey, presented a most brilliant spectacle on 29 November 1934. The scene was set for the wedding procession of Prince George, Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina of Greece. Gaily decked stands with privileged spectators, pavements thronged with expectant crowds, and multicoloured decorations all contributed to an atmosphere fitting to the royal occasion. In this image, the bridal carriage and its escort pass slowly by, making their way through the vibrant crowd. The Duke of Kent, a younger brother of King George VI, married the elegant Princess Marina in a ceremony held at Westminster Abbey. The joyous procession marked the beginning of their new life together. The historic Parliament Square, with its rich associations and past pageantry, provided the perfect backdrop for this grand event. The scene is a testament to the grandeur and pageantry of royal weddings, a tradition deeply rooted in British history.
