EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking bird's eye view photograph, we witness the Glass Coach of Princess Elizabeth and Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, making its way down the Mall in London following their wedding at Westminster Abbey on November 20, 1947. The newlyweds' procession, filled with grandeur and tradition, marks the beginning of their lifelong journey as monarch and consort. The Glass Coach, drawn by a team of magnificent horses, glistens in the sunlight as it turns the corner onto the Mall, surrounded by a sea of people eager to catch a glimpse of the royal couple. The scene is a beautiful juxtaposition of old and new, with the traditional horse-drawn carriage making its way through the modern, post-war landscape. Princess Elizabeth, resplendent in her stunning white wedding gown and veil, sits regally beside her husband, who wears the uniform of a Naval Lieutenant. The bridesmaids, dressed in elegant, flowing dresses, follow behind, their laughter and excitement adding to the joyous atmosphere. The Glass Coach procession was a cherished tradition that had been carried out for centuries, and this particular event was no exception. The people of London, eager to celebrate the union of their future queen and her husband, lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the royal couple as they made their way back to Buckingham Palace. This photograph captures a moment in history, a moment of joy and celebration, and serves as a reminder of the enduring tradition and pageantry of the British monarchy.
