EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth are seen in the company of their daughters, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, at the Royal Pavilion in Braemar during the first post-war Braemar Gathering in 1946. The King and Queen are dressed in the Balmoral tartan, adding a touch of tradition to the historic occasion. The Marquess of Aberdeen, who was hosting the event, is also present in the image. The Braemar Gathering, an annual event held in the Scottish Highlands, is renowned for its traditional Scottish games and festivities. However, the 1946 gathering was marked by unprecedented weather conditions, making it the wettest in memory. Despite the challenging conditions, an impressive 25,000 spectators attended, demonstrating the enduring appeal of this cherished Scottish tradition. Prince Philip of Greece, who was staying at Balmoral Castle at the time, joined the Royal party for the event. The image captures a moment of resilience and unity, as the Royal Family and the people of Scotland came together to celebrate their shared heritage in the face of adversity. The photograph stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Braemar Gathering and the strength of the British monarchy during a time of great change.
