EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photograph, taken during the FA Cup Final in 1924 at Wembley Stadium, we witness a historic moment of sportsmanship and royalty. The Duke of York, later known as King George VI, is seen graciously congratulating the victorious players of Newcastle United for their triumph over Aston Villa. This snapshot captures a significant event in British football history. The image showcases the Duke dressed impeccably in formal attire with his signature bowler hat, exuding an air of regality. His presence adds a touch of grandeur to the scene as he extends his hand to shake those of the triumphant athletes. The players themselves are clad in their football kits, displaying both exhaustion from their intense match and elation from their well-deserved victory. This print holds historical significance not only due to its depiction of sporting achievement but also because it was part of a series produced by W. D. & H. O. Wills for cigarette cards featuring Our King And Queen. These cards were highly collectible items during that era. As we gaze upon this image nearly a century later, we are transported back to a time when football held immense importance within British culture and society. It serves as a reminder that even amidst royal duties and responsibilities, moments like these allowed members of the monarchy to connect with everyday people through shared passions such as sport.
