EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment when the Fountains of Trafalgar Square in London were illuminated in blue to celebrate the birth of Prince Charles, the heir to the British throne, on November 14, 1948. The image shows the iconic landmark bathed in a beautiful blue glow, reflecting the excitement and joy of the people of London and the nation as they welcomed the future king into the world. The crowds gathered in Trafalgar Square, eager to be a part of the celebrations, as the fountains were lit in honor of the newborn prince. The blue hue was chosen as a traditional symbol of boys and the color of the royal family's crest, the St. Edward's Cross, which features blue lions. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the event and the deep connection between the British people and their monarchy. The image captures the sense of unity and pride that came with the birth of a future king, and the blue lights illuminating the fountains serve as a visual representation of the hope and anticipation that came with the start of a new reign. The Fountains of Trafalgar Square have long been a symbol of London's vibrant cultural and historical heritage, and this photograph captures a unique moment in history when they were transformed into a beacon of joy and celebration. This image is a testament to the enduring power of tradition and the deep connection between the British people and their monarchy.
