EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the excitement and fervor of the historic moment when Princess Elizabeth, later to become Queen Elizabeth II, married Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh on November 20, 1947. The image shows an overly enthusiastic spectator, lost in the moment, perched precariously on a plinth in the crowded streets of Edinburgh, Scotland. The man, dressed in a suit and hat, eagerly leans over the edge for a better view of the royal procession. Suddenly, two policemen appear, one grabbing the man's arms and the other attempting to pull him down from the plinth. The man's expression remains unchanged, a mixture of determination and pure joy, as he holds on tight, seemingly oblivious to the officers' efforts to restore order. The scene is a testament to the infectious energy and anticipation that filled the air during the royal wedding, an event that brought the people of Britain and the Commonwealth together in celebration. The photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a poignant reminder of the power of human emotion and the enduring allure of royalty. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the magic and wonder of this significant moment in history.
