Celebrating the Majestic Arrival: An Illuminated Electric Car Honors the Royal Visit to Leeds in 1908 This photograph captures an electric car adorned with an extraordinary display of 3,000 electric lights, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Royal Family in Leeds on July 7th, 1908. King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, accompanied by their son, Prince George, were on a grand tour of the United Kingdom, and the citizens of Leeds spared no effort in extending a warm welcome. The electric tramcar, a marvel of the time, was not only a symbol of modern transport but also a testament to the innovative spirit of the era. The car's illumination required an impressive 150 horsepower to run, making it a true spectacle of engineering and design. The vehicle was meticulously decorated with bunting, flags, and kitsch ornaments, adding to the festive atmosphere. The Royal Family's visit to Leeds was a significant event, and the community took great pride in showcasing their city's progress and achievements. The illuminated electric car served as a beacon of excitement and anticipation, signaling the arrival of the esteemed guests. The image encapsulates the spirit of unity and celebration that marked this historic occasion, making it a cherished memory for generations to come.
