EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, members of the British Royal Family bid a fond farewell to the Queen Mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, as she prepared to embark on a transat Atlantic voyage to New York in 1953. Surrounded by her loved ones, the Queen Mother, dressed in a stylish hat and coat, waves from the platform of Waterloo Station. By her side, her grandchildren, Prince Charles and Princess Anne, offer their own waves to the crowd. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, stands behind his mother-in-law, looking on with a protective expression. The scene is completed by the distinguished figure of Sir Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister at the time, who had come to see the Queen Mother off on her journey. The Queen Mother's departure marked the beginning of a three-week tour of America and Canada, during which she would be warmly received by the people of both countries. The photograph captures a moment of unity and warmth, as the Royal Family comes together to bid farewell to a beloved matriarch. The train, which would carry the Queen Mother to Southampton and the waiting liner, Queen Elizabeth, can be seen in the background, symbolizing the start of a new adventure for the Queen Mother. The image is a poignant reminder of the close-knit nature of the Royal Family and their enduring connection to the British people.
