EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken on 12 April 1938, HRH Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, is seen visiting Queen Mary's Home for Children in Aldershot. Surrounded by a row of eager children, all carrying Union Jack flags, the Queen Mother is greeted with warm smiles and a respectful bow from one young boy. The children's nurses stand behind, watching over their charges with pride and affection. Queen Mary's Home for Children was an orphanage and children's welfare institution established in 1921, under the patronage of Queen Mary, the Queen Mother's mother. The home provided education, care, and social support for orphaned and abandoned children, giving them a sense of stability and belonging during uncertain times. The Queen Mother's visit to the home was a significant moment in the institution's history, highlighting the importance of children's welfare and the role of the monarchy in supporting charitable causes. The children, dressed in their best clothes, were thrilled to meet their royal visitor, and the photograph captures the joy and excitement of the moment. The Union Jack flags carried by the children symbolize their sense of national pride and identity, as well as their connection to the monarchy and the wider community. The nurses, dressed in their uniforms, stand proudly behind the children, reflecting the care and dedication that went into raising and nurturing them. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of children's welfare and the role that charities and the monarchy have played in supporting vulnerable children throughout history. It also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of children living in an orphanage during the 1930s.
