EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photo print, captured on March 26,1959, we witness a significant moment as the Royal Maundy Service takes place at Windsor in St Georges Chapel for the very first time. The atmosphere is filled with reverence and tradition as members of the Royal Family gracefully make their way through the chapel grounds. Leading the procession is Queen Elizabeth, followed closely by Princess Anne, Queen Mother, and Princess Margaret. The image showcases not only the importance of this religious ceremony but also highlights the unity and grace exhibited by these prominent figures. Each member carries a beautiful bouquet of flowers, symbolizing new beginnings and growth during Easter time. Walking alongside them is Rev Bishop Eric Hamilton, serving as a guiding presence during this sacred event. As they proceed after completing the Royal Maundy Service within St Georges Chapel's hallowed walls, it becomes apparent that this occasion holds great significance for both royalty and clergy alike. One notable aspect of this service is Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth personally distributing Maundy money to deserving individuals. This act demonstrates her commitment to charity and compassion towards those less fortunate. This photograph allows us to glimpse into an extraordinary moment in history when ancient customs intersected with modern times within one of England's most iconic landmarks.
