EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the historic moment as the procession of coaches carrying the newlywed royal couple, Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, returns to Buckingham Palace following their wedding at Westminster Abbey on November 20, 1947. The scene outside the Palace shows the Irish State Coach, drawn by eight grey horses, passing by the Victoria Memorial. The Memorial, adorned with intricate sculptures and surrounded by lush greenery, serves as a fitting backdrop to the grand occasion. The crowd, dressed in their Sunday best, eagerly awaits a glimpse of the newlyweds, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. The bride, dressed in a beautiful white gown and veil, and the groom, in his military uniform, wave and smile at the cheering crowd. The scene is a testament to the joy and celebration that marked the wedding of the future Queen of England and the Duke of Edinburgh, a union that would go on to define the second half of the 20th century.
