EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken on May 8, 1951, Danish royal visitors, including Queen Ingrid of Denmark, Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother), Princess Elizabeth (future Queen Elizabeth II), and Princess Margaret, are seen waving to the adoring crowds as they depart Victoria Station in London. The occasion was a state visit to the United Kingdom, marking the first time a Danish monarch had visited Britain since the signing of the Treaty of Kiel in 1814. The royal procession, a special spectacle of the 1950s, was a grand affair. The Danish royals arrived at Victoria Station in an open-topped carriage, pulled by two magnificent horses and accompanied by mounted guards. The streets were filled with people eager to catch a glimpse of the Danish royals, their excitement palpable in the air. The visitors were greeted at the station by Queen Elizabeth and other members of the British royal family, including the Duke of Edinburgh, who would accompany the Danish royals on their journey to Buckingham Palace for an official audience with King George VI. The day was filled with events, including a banquet at the Guildhall and a visit to the Danish Church in London. This photograph captures the excitement and energy of the occasion, with the crowd's waving hands and upturned faces, the elegant carriages, and the proud, mounted guards. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of royalty and the special connection between the peoples of Denmark and the United Kingdom.
