EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Queen Mary, the widow of King George V and the mother of King George VI, is seen touring the pavilions of the Festival of Britain on the South Bank of London in 1951. Dressed in a smart hat and coat, the elderly queen is pictured in a wheelchair, her expression thoughtful and engaged as she takes in the sights around her. The Festival of Britain was a grand celebration of post-war British culture, held from May to September 1951. The South Bank of the Thames was transformed into a bustling hub of arts, science, and technology, with pavilions showcasing the best of British innovation and creativity. The event was intended to boost morale and promote a sense of national pride following the hardships of World War II. Despite her advanced age and mobility issues, Queen Mary was determined to attend the Festival and support the country she had dedicated her life to serving. Accompanied by her granddaughter, Princess Alexandra, she toured the various exhibitions, taking in the latest advancements in design, architecture, and technology. This photograph captures a poignant moment in the queen's visit, as she pauses to take in the sights and sounds of the festival. The image serves as a reminder of Queen Mary's unwavering dedication to her country and her role as a symbol of resilience and strength in the face of adversity. The backdrop of the South Bank and the Festival of Britain pavilions adds to the sense of history and tradition, making this a truly iconic image from British history.
