4th August 1919: A Historical Moment at Cadogan Pier, London This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in British history as King George V and Queen Mary, accompanied by their daughters, Princess Mary and Princess Victoria, disembark from the State Barge at Cadogan Pier in London. The royal party had just enjoyed a spectacular river pageant, which had traveled from Tower Bridge to Cadogan Pier as a token of appreciation for the valiant sea services during World War I. The image exudes an air of grandeur and celebration, with the King and Queen, dressed in their formal attire, leading the way down the gangplank. Princess Mary and Princess Victoria follow closely behind, their elegant silhouettes adding to the scene's visual appeal. The backdrop of the pier, adorned with Union Jack flags and a throng of onlookers, further emphasizes the importance of the occasion. The moment was marked by a 21-gun salute, which had just been fired from a nearby location to announce the arrival of the royal party. The deafening noise, a symbol of respect and admiration, underscores the significance of the day's events. This photograph, taken on 4th August 1919, is an essential piece of historical documentation, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. The pageant on the River Thames was a testament to the resilience and unity of the British people, who came together to celebrate the heroism and sacrifices made by the sea services during the war. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape the fabric of London and the United Kingdom. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of historical moments and the importance of preserving them for future generations.
