EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the magical sight of the British naval fleet illuminated off the coast of Weymouth, Dorset, in 1932, in preparation for a visit by the Royal Family. King George V and his son, Edward, Prince of Wales, are amongst the distinguished guests expected to attend the event. The ships, adorned with intricate patterns of lights and searchlights, create a breathtaking spectacle against the night sky. The illuminations were a cherished tradition, symbolizing the strong connection between the monarchy and the naval fleet. The tranquil waters of Weymouth Bay reflect the shimmering lights, adding to the enchanting scene. The Prince of Wales, who would later ascend to the throne as King Edward VIII, is seen standing on the deck of a ship, taking in the stunning view. This photograph is a captivating reminder of the grandeur and tradition of the British monarchy and its relationship with the naval fleet.
