EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in British history - the Royal Wedding of H. R. H Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh. The focal point of this image is Westminster Abbey, which stood as an iconic backdrop for the grand ceremony. As crowds gathered outside, queues stretched from the Abbey all the way to Lambeth Bridge, demonstrating the immense public interest in witnessing this historic occasion. The significance of this wedding is further highlighted by two notable elements depicted in the photograph. Firstly, eager visitors patiently waited to catch a glimpse of the wedding register, symbolizing their desire to be part of this momentous day. Secondly, they also filed past the Tomb Of The Unknown Warrior within Westminster Abbey where Princess Elizabeth's bridal bouquet was placed at her own request. This gesture showcased her respect and remembrance for those who had sacrificed their lives during wartime. Set against a wintry backdrop, with gothic architecture towering above them, these enthusiastic onlookers represent post-war Britain's unwavering support for their beloved royal family. Their presence reflects both national pride and admiration for Princess Elizabeth and her new husband. Taken on 22nd November 1947 in London's Vauxhall/Lambeth area, this photograph encapsulates not only a significant historical event but also serves as a testament to enduring British traditions and cultural heritage that have captivated generations throughout time.
